5 Takeaways from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first Press Conference as United Manager

#4 He would love the Permanent Job

Solskjaer will be hoping he can impress the board and earn their trust

Every person who has managed a game of football at the highest level dreams of becoming the Manager at Manchester United and the Norwegian is no different. He started out as the Reserves Team Manager at Old Trafford after his retirement, a spell where he was hugely successful and now that he has been appointed the Caretaker Manager of his club, Solskjaer admitted that he nurtures desires of being the full time boss at Old Trafford one day.

The Norwegian was questioned whether there had been any talks of him taking the permanent role, and was also informed that if he did well, the crowd would want him to stay on for the permanent job. This is how Solskjaer responded:

When you get a job like this and they ask you to sign for six months you say yeah, I’m happy to help out and my job is to do as well as I can

They understand there are so many managers who would love to be manager of Manchester United, I’m one of them but it’s not something we’ve talked about, they’ll do a process for the next six months.

While he would love to stay on after the summer, Solskjaer is fully focused on the task at hand. However, he does have a golden opportunity to impress the board and stake a claim for the full time job.
