Solskjaer would love his Manchester United team to play like Sir Alex's

#2 Presence in Dressing Room

Solskjaer will be well respected in the dressing room

The Manchester United Dressing room requires someone who the players can look up to in awe. Solskjaer has won everything on offer during his time at Old Trafford and as such, he will have the respects of the players. He will have the backing of the board and it will be the first time since Sir Alex's departure that the club might be reverting back to the great Scot's ideology.

In the dressing room though, the Norwegian will hardly be intimidated by the big egos. He might be called the Baby Faced Assassin, but Solskjaer does not shy away from speaking his mind if there's something he doesn't like, as former players would clarify.

Once in the dugout, he will have the full backing of the fans and supporters alike. He has openly admitted that he has gathered most of his managerial knowledge by watching Sir Alex Ferguson in close quarters.

He had also assisted Sir Alex in training the strikers during his last season before retirement. As such, Ole has all the ingredients to demand the respect of his wards.

Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life.
