Cardiff boss Solskjaer says he's ready for emotional Man Utd return

Cardiff City boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he's ready for his return to Manchester United tonight.

He has spent the last few days in Manchester with Cardiff staying over following their FA Cup win at Bolton on Saturday, and has been stopped by adoring fans already.

He said: "Roy Keane has been back, Bryan Robson has been back.

"There have been loads of ex-players who have gone back there and had a good reception, before and after the game.

"But during the 90 minutes, the fans are United supporters.

"The United fans are the best in the world when it comes to recognising their former players.

"They have been coming up to me, but hopefully, in 15 years' time, the Cardiff fans will be doing the same.

"I'm not too emotional. I think it caught me two hours after my testimonial I had in 2008 because I was knackered with everything you have to do but I will be alright."
