Herrera admits he wants Solskjaer to be given fulltime Man Utd job

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera admits he wants to see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer given the fulltime job.

Herrera has joined the long list of those praising Solskjaer, stating that he has quickly established a strong bond with his squad of players.

"It's not my business and I respect the decisions of the people that work for the club. All I can say is that if I was sporting director of a club tomorrow, I would sign Ole. But I respect the people that take the decisions and I'm not going to say what they should do," he told FourFourTwo.

“Ole has a quality that is difficult to have in football, which is to have the affection of all the players – the players who play and the ones who don't play as much.

“I don't know how he did it, but he had that click with players who can change games. He's clicked with Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard.

“He's very close to the players, but he also knows that sometimes he needs to stay away and not give too much information to the players day by day.

“When he speaks, everybody listens, because he is saying something important – something that can help the team to win.

“He's not interfering every minute and that's a quality as well. Every time he speaks, you listen, because he doesn't always give you information."
