Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is being encouraged to add greater experience to his backroom team.

Sam Allardyce insists that without the right men by his side he would never have been a success.

Allardyce said: “You just have to look at his hair. Ole can only get through it with his staff and then by putting the players on the right track.

“Your staff need to be right on top of their game. We get all the criticism and all the praise as managers, but if you haven't got the right staff… the success I had, I couldn't have done it without my staff.

“I can't believe I've still not got a total silver fox. People think I dye mine, but I don't. I should have been a silver fox about 10 years ago.

“My advice to Ole is I would shut everything down from the inside, which is almost an impossible task.

“But to focus internally and keep the outside influences away from everybody.

“Focus and really find a way out of it with your staff. Ole's staff are never more important than they are now.

“Ole can only get through it with his staff and then by putting the players on the right track. You need your staff need to be right on top of their game."
