Former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is happy seeing Kieran McKenna succeed with Ipswich Town.

McKenna has just guided Ipswich back to the Championship.

Solskjaer said of his former assistant coach: “He's the most thorough and analytical, step-by-step, process-driven coach that I've worked with. He makes it so easy for the players to see and understand what we wanted from them. He'd do that the day before a game and his memory was also fantastic, his eye for detail too.

“One of his strong points was defensive organisation and I let him be in charge of that in training. I learned from him about defensive shape and how not to concede. So I wasn't surprised that he went nine games without conceding this season. Not one goal. Then they conceded one horror goal (at Cheltenham), before carrying on keeping clean sheets."
