Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

“It's not about tippy-tappy, namby-pamby football. It's a battle, and we have to be ready for it.”

“Finishing is different to shooting. If you work at in in training sessions then you will just do it naturally during the game.”

“I said no to Aston Villa because I was not ready. I said yes to Cardiff because I felt ready. But I was not.”

“The FA Cup final is such a fantastic final to play in. I played in the 1999 one at Wembley, and after having watched so many finals as a kid, to be able to make that long walk up from the dressing room to the pitch was fantastic.”

“I am not a city guy; I like peaceful surroundings and maybe a walk around a lake.”

“I had the best teacher there can be in man management or managing a football club.”

“Molde fits me very well; Man United fits me very well because it's in me. It's in your personality. It's ingrained in you. I understand the club.”

“If I had been at any other club but United, then I think I would have gone to the manager and asked to leave. But I want to stay here and win things.”

“The only way I know to get out of disappointment is to work hard, keep doing the right things, and don't make any rash decisions.”

“I realised when I was a striker that when I ended up wide on the left or right, it can be so much easier to get space and face defenders up.”

“In games, you have plans, you have strategies, and you follow them.”

“I've got to do it my way. I can't compromise and be someone else.”

“I had a fantastic time at United. I have been back to watch games. It was over 14 years of my life. It is a third of my life I spent at Old Trafford. That's a lot of time, and it feels like home.”

“When people doubt me, I love it.”

“In any game, you have to work to stay in it, especially away against a good team like Southampton. It's a fantastic club and one I've said on a few occasions Cardiff City would do well to emulate, both on and off the field.”

“That comes when you sign for Man United - you know you're going to play in front of the best fans in the world.”

“Throughout my life, ever since I played for Clausenengen back home, instead of listening to the teacher at school, I was writing down all the chances I missed in a book thinking 'I should have done this.' Scoring goals was all I thought about.”

“I thought I could go into Cardiff, but different clubs have different cultures, different playing styles and philosophies. I'm more suited to the other jobs I've had.”

“Everybody wants the Hollywood glamour of the Premier League.”

“When you are in a football club, you stick together. That's the key.”
