Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has joked about his rivalry with FC Copenhagen coach Stale Solbakken.

The two Norwegians face off tonight in the Europa League quarterfinals in Germany.

Solskjaer said, "We are not the ones to play against each other. But I have known him for many years. He had a very good career as a player, and he is in the process of creating a legacy in Copenhagen that is now in the quarterfinals for the first time.

"He's a little older than me. You probably see that. I'm starting to get grey in my hair, but I hope I at least keep my hair!"

The United manager added: "I know how Stale has built up the club. I played a lot against them with Molde, and I have known Stale for so long. Copenhagen has a history of doing well in Europe. Their greatest strength is the collective and the way the team is organised."
