Ex-Man Utd boss Solskjaer: I've had offers from Saudi Arabia

Former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he's had offers from the Saudi Pro League.

Solskjaer admits he is ready to return to management two years after his sacking by United.

He told the Athletic: "Yes, and I've had offers. Most recently, two from Saudi Arabia. My best mate, who is also my agent, sifts through them. If you've managed Man United, you put your own criteria about what you want to work with.

"I love England and the Premier League. Even the Championship feels stronger than ever, but I don't feel bound to England. Maybe a different challenge where I need to experience a new culture and learn a new language.

"The DNA and identity of the club are important, a club where I can be the best me. It has to be a match. Maybe I made the wrong decision to go to Cardiff, for example, where there was a clash of identities and styles.

"What I miss most is working with good people, coming in every day, discussing football and putting a plan together for the next game. It's not just about formations, but creating a culture where the staff enjoy their job and building a team together."

Solskjaer, of his time in charge, also said: "Well, there's something missing: a trophy. One penalty could have changed that (in the shootout defeat to Villarreal in the Europa League final) and my time there would be viewed differently.

"Trophies are important, but it was also important to lay the foundation of good performances. We managed to do that for a long time, consistently. Ultimately, that's not good enough, but the remit I was given was to get fans smiling again and we had something going. We were top of the league in September 2021, Cristiano Ronaldo came in, and Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho joined.

"And we'd gone strong by signing these players. It was about taking the next step to challenge for the title. And, unfortunately, it just didn't work out."
