Man Utd legend Solskjaer enjoying management at Molde

Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he's enjoying his new career in charge of Molde.

Solskjaer took on the Molde post after a year running United's reserves team.

He told the Daily Mail: "I enjoy management. I've been a player at the highest level and you think you know it all. Then you're a coach and you have to put sessions on. Then you're a manager and you have to make decisions on the direction of the club, youth development.

"I'm the manager at Molde and I wanted to transfer the role to a traditional English model. It's something I've wanted to do since I was about 10.

"I was always playing Championship Manager, dreaming of being a manager. Then I played for United and thought: No, it's not for me. I have to get away from the headlines, the spotlight and leave football.

"When I got injured and football was taken away from me, I thought: No, I want to stay in football for as long as I can. You can't beat playing football. That's the best. But this is much more challenging."
