As the players are taking turns praising Ole in the media these days, I made a quick search so see what they have said about him recently. I think it´s safe to say Ole has the backing of his squad.
Shaw:
"I’ve seen a lot of changes during my time at United and I have to say that Ole has been responsible for a large amount of the improvements around the place. When he came in, he knew what was needed, what had to change to get things up and running again."
"He’s signed people who aren’t just good players, but also really good lads as well. They’ve integrated in the squad really well and brought a bit more energy and togetherness in the group."
“His man-management has been unbelievable for me and the whole squad. He has put a smile on everyone’s face."
Bailly:
“He’s someone that will always talk to you.”
“He always communicates well. He gives you so much confidence because as a footballer, you go through moments where you feel low and he can read that and when he sees that he immediately comes over to you and talks to you.”
“He offers advice so that you can regain confidence and for me, that’s so important because we have a very young team and if we have a coach or manager like that then the team will go from strength to strength.”
Pereira:
"Ole knows we will always be there for him. The young players give our faith and do everything to protect him, as he gives all his trust to us.”
"I'm very honoured and that's why, as well, I want to stay at United. I want to fight for him, win games and win trophies."
Bissaka:
“Since day one at United, I’ve seen that Ole’s a manager who knows what he wants. You can see his intentions for the team. He wants every single player to improve and he’s given us all a steer on what we need to improve. That’s what you need, I think; a manager who will push you.”
"Personally, he’s encouraged me to go forward with confidence and express myself, and prior to the recent lockdown I think my attacking game was definitely improving.”
Williams:
"Ole is always there for me."
"He's always telling me what I need to improve on, not letting me go in after training to work on things that I need to improve on.”
"He's always there when I need an arm around the shoulder or when I need the praise and also when I need to be told something that I need to work on."
Fernandes:
"For me, the most important (reason why I joined United) was obviously the confidence of the coach.”
Lindelöf:
"He's very good. A coach that is easy to talk to and discuss with and who has a good balance when he should be tough and when he should not be tough."
“He knows exactly what it takes to be a player and how much pressure there is on us.”
Tuanzebe:
“He has an understanding of the players himself.”
“It is a lot easier. He knows how people feel when in certain times and he knows how to help the individual adapt to the circumstances.”
“For me he has been fundamental. We have had a sit down, we have talked about my future and what destinations I want to be reaching, and he has been really good to me.”
Fred:
“He is very nice, he is an extraordinary person, he talks a lot, he has a playful side and he is always smiling. The day-to-day is great and he is very important for the team, as he was as a player in the history of the club."
Matic:
“Now he knows all of the players, he knows exactly what he needs to do before the game, after the game.”
Chong:
“I think we’ve got a manager who believes in young players. It’s an exciting time at the moment."
“I speak to the manager and everyone around the club to look to what is best for you to do. I think the club is coming in with a brilliant plan and it is just exciting to see what’s going to happen."
“The club has done a fantastic job really with the young players. It’s always been a club that gives opportunities to youngsters. This year it has been amazing the faith and trust that the manager has been showing in the young players.”
Fosu-Mensah:
“He has been very positive with me. He sees I’ve been working hard, and he’s been encouraging me every single time, so I feel the trust from him."
Ighalo:
“During games… there was even a game I scored in, and he said ‘You should have scored more if you do this or do that’.
“I thought about it and I know if I would have done what Ole said, I would have scored more. He says: ‘You’re a striker, take the chance’. So I’ve learnt a lot from him, in terms of positioning and how to do one or two things in a game."
“He’s a very calm guy; he’s a good guy. Outside of football, he’s a good guy. When everybody is laughing in training, he joins in and he talks to us, but, when it’s the game, you see a serious face. We have to do this, we have to do that - then it’s business time.”
James:
"He's been unbelievable with me, I'll always thank him for that,. From the first time I met him, I never expected him to have that belief in me.”
"He's always been great with me and picks me up when I'm a bit down which he does with every player so I do thank him for that."
"Game by game I was just enjoying it more and believing in myself. The manager give me that belief and it helped me a lot."
McTominay:
"Obviously it's our duty as players to go out there and do our best for him and hopefully we can (perform well) because we love him. We love him as a group as well.”
Rashford:
"We were on the same page and wanted the same things for the club. Ole is a great guy, and he has the club's interests at heart, so there's not a better person for the job in my opinion."
De Gea:
"[Solskjaer] is part of the family. He was here for many years as a player, he knows the club well and most importantly the whole team is behind him. We will fight to the death for him. That is key, he is a good coach, and we will be with him until the end."
