Then it was time to have a chat with the English media. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is busy building success at Besiktas, but took the time to chat with The Athletic. Here it emerged that even fully occupied in Turkey, Solskjaer sees himself as part of Manchester United
First, of course, the questions turn to his time as Manchester United manager.
“The last six weeks were tough (as United manager), I can’t deny that. But we also topped our Champions League group. It was the two games against City and Watford that did that, but I stand by the fact that finishing second and third in my two full seasons wasn’t too bad considering the Premier League level. We also reached a European final,” Solskjaer begins to The Athletic.
Then Solskjaer “reveals” that he has never left Manchester United.
-Scotty (Scott McTominay) is doing well at Napoli. I’m sad that we let him go, because he was important last season, when he scored more goals. His heart and his knowledge of the culture were important
–we…? asks Athletic journalist Mitten about the decision United made three years after Solskjaer’s exit.
But my focus is here now, it has to be. It (Besiktas) is a huge club with fans all over Turkey and around the world,” Solskjaer replies.
We. Us at Manchester United.
We’ve said it under Ten Hag, then Ruben Amorim. Now it’s enough – Manchester United must bring Solskjaer back. The United legend shows with his “we” that he has never left Manchester United.
