Kristiansund coach Michelsen says Noah Solskjaer to face Man Utd

The son of Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in the Kristiansund squad for Tuesday's friendly against United in Oslo.

Noah, 19, has been called up for the friendly along with several other youngsters.

Unlike his goalscoring father, Noah Solskjaer operates in midfield.

"While his dad was a deadly effective player the closer he got to the box, Noah is more the kind of player to create attacks," Kristiansund coach Christian Michelsen said of the tall playmaker.

"He has a lot of skills and he has football in him. Noah has gone to a good school.

"He and several of these youngsters have been with us for a while. We knew they were good football players, but what is fun is that we see that they are taking the level more and more.

"It's great for them and fun for us to see them grow well."
