Man Utd boss Solskjaer: This job would've suited Robson, Bruce and Keane

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to reinvigorate the culture inside the club.

The 46-year-old Norwegian wants to do what Pep ­­Guardiola did at Barcelona — ­and bring an ­emotional charge to the club he loves.

Solskjaer said: “This ­environment really suits me.

“It ­probably would have suited Robbo, ­Brucie and Roy as well. Scholsey and Gary, too, because we all worked with Sir Alex and are all from the same mould. The difference is that I am the only one who has been given the chance to manage this club after being a player here — though Giggsy got those four games, of course.

“I know the structure. I know the values and the philosophy. I know this environment because I worked in it as a player for so many years.

“That makes it different to the other clubs I've been at. It's different because here we have some of the best players in the world to work with."
