Man Utd boss Solskjaer admits Brentford admiration: I enjoy the Scandinavian link

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is impressed by Premier League new-boys Brentford.

The Bees will make their debut in the Premier League this new season.

Solskjaer told manutd.com: "They had a clear plan. They had a philosophy they work from, the Danish owners back home in Midtjylland, they have done great in Denmark and now with Brentford. It was thoroughly deserved as they've been so close a few times and I'm very happy for Thomas.

"The Scandinavian link that I, of course, enjoy. That will be my first experience to play against them and they've got a new stadium so I'll enjoy the away game as well. All newcomers in the Premier League are welcome because it creates another feeling and gives us something new."

On Bees manager Thomas Frank, he added: "It's the first time I have a team to play against him but, of course, I know his philosophies and how he thinks."
