Manchester United coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said he wants more players who will show the values and personality required in his Manchester United team.
The man from Norway said he will not change from the manager he was at Molde and Cardiff City and will make sure he brings players with the right quality and those that are not driven by money or fame.
His words, “It’s not like playing Football Manager this, you know,”
“There’s players that we maybe have expressed an interest in and if they’re not available for sale, it’s not just like ‘I’ll get him’.”
“We have to have the right type of player, with the right quality and the right personality. If they’re driven by money or fame then they’re not right for Man United or right for my team.
“I’ve been the same at Molde and Cardiff and I’ve been the same here. I need players who can reflect me as a person as well and my values.”
“Everyone knows that times have changed and what the gaffer did has been unbelievable,” Solskjaer said. ”But we are doing things differently to all the previous managers.
“We can’t try to copy Sir Alex and think that’s going to be successful, because he was unique.
”We’ve got a different generation of players and we’ve got to do it our own way. Maybe some of them couldn’t have handled Sir Alex’s way of managing, but we’re looking to do it our way.“
“They [the players] know the history of the club and that it means a lot for everyone, but we can’t just linger on,” Ole added.
”We can’t because the clubs underneath are chasing us. We shouldn’t be looking back, we should be chasing the top positions, but at the moment that is the reality of where we’re at.“
