Manchester United FA Cup winner Gordon Strachan has questioned the coaching ability of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Strachan spent three seasons at Old Trafford under Sir Alex Ferguson.

And he told the Daily Star: “I've heard Ole isn't the world's greatest coach but Sir Alex wasn't the world's greatest coach.

“He knew how to coach but for 25 years he didn't do much coaching – he left that to others.

“He brought presence, discipline and footballing philosophy – things like passing the ball forward more – and that's where modern football is at. “It's a lot simpler than people are making out.

“You'll get caught up in it if you believe all these stats, but it's the Emperor's New Clothes.

“We know Ole is talking to Sir Alex and that's good.

“He won't be asking about tactics, he'll be asking how he deals with being United manager on and off the park.

“When Alex first went to United, he had a similar set-up with Sir Matt Busby.

“Nothing technical, just how to deal with being the manager at that club.

“As a top manager, sometimes you can think you're getting all the problems in the world and that it's horrible.

So it's nice to sit and have a cup of tea with somebody who has been there, done that and survived – he's okay, he's not nuts.

“It's just nice to talk to somebody who has been in your shoes and there are not many who have walked the road Ole is right now.

“Sir Alex may say, 'I had that with David Beckham or Jaap Stam, this is how I solved it – try that'.

“There's nothing wrong with getting help because if we're saying players need psychologists, why can't a manager get help?

“Your family doesn't understand it , the coaches around you don't really understand it. You need somebody who really knows what it's all about."
