Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: Man Utd boss on Paul Pogba’s form, message for doubters and facing Leeds

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: “That pressure – that’s a privilege, just imagine life with no pressure. That must be mundane”; Watch Manchester United vs Leeds United live on Sky Sports Premier League this Sunday from 4.15pm; kick-off 4.30pm

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he will continue to manage Manchester United his way as he reaches two years in charge of the club.

The Norwegian first took temporary charge of United on December 19, 2018, and Sunday’s match at home to Leeds, live on Sky Sports, will fall a day after his two-year anniversary at Old Trafford.

Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports News, Solskjaer – whose position was made permanent in March 2019 – said he is thriving under the pressure that comes with the United role as he looks to improve on his side’s third-place finish last season and bounce back from their Champions League group-stage exit.

When asked if he had a message for those who still doubted him, Solskjer said: “I’ll do it the way I’ve always done it anyway, and if they doubt, they doubt, and if they don’t, they don’t. We as a coaching staff and as a team with the players, we believe in what we’re doing.

“We have a belief. Whatever anyone else thinks about me or the team, it’s not really my business. If teams come to Old Trafford with more or less respect, it’s a game we have to take on and have to perform at our best level.”

On the pressure of managing United, having come under constant scrutiny during his time in charge, Solskjaer added: “That’s this chair, this place, this club, that’s the pressure we want. We want to push on. I don’t like to go back into this, but the average position in the six years after Sir Alex left was fifth.

“Last season we got up to third, it’s an improvement but it’s not where we want to be. We have to push on, I feel the squad is getting stronger, I’ve got more and more headaches over leaving players out. But it’s still not enough.”
