Solskjaer admits Man Utd dressing room leakers

Former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits they had leakers in the dressing room.

Solskjaer says there was always "one or two" unhappy players who would leak to the press.

He told the Stick to Football podcast: "I felt we [coaching staff] had a very good rapport with the players, but there are always one or two in a squad that leak things because they are unhappy.

"Being a manager, you play a game Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, you sack about 14 players every game and the next morning you have to tell them they have another chance.

"There are only a certain amount of times you can say, "I'll give you that game, you've got a chance." In the end, they go sour, we had a big squad with too many players. If you have too many players, they get unhappy."
