Man Utd legend Solskjaer: Day I copped Ferguson hairdryer

Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed even he copped the hairdryer treatment from Sir Alex Ferguson during his playing career.

New Molde coach Solskjaer admits against Newcastle in 1998, when he charged the full length of the field to chop Rob Lee down as he was about to score the winning goal, knowing he would get sent off and suspended - was one of the rare times he received the hairdryer treatment.

"I stepped out of line and he put me in my place in front of everyone," recalled Solskjaer.

"I was called into his office next morning and had to pay a fine.

"He wanted us to win but he did not want us to cheat. He didn't want to be associated with that and he was right."
