Sir Alex Ferguson says everyone at Manchester United are happy for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after Molde's title success in Norway.

Solskjaer led Molde to a first ever title in his debut season as coach.

Ferguson revealed he jumped the gun with his congratulations, texting Solskjaer prior to the 2-2 draw with Stromsgodset on Sunday that secured Molde a place in next season's Champions League.

"All the players have been in touch," said Ferguson.

"I texted him on Saturday thinking he had won the league but he was playing on Sunday.

"It is a great achievement considering this is his first year.

"He had a great spell with our reserve team so he wasn't coming into the job blind but it is fantastic news."
