Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists transfer talk is part of being connected to the Premier League giants.

Solskjaer is back home in Norway for tonight's friendly with Kristiansund.

He told VG: "That's how it's always been in United. Even when I was a player.

"You get used to it. It beats you. I know what we are working on, and I know what we want.

"There are not very many who are good enough or who are the right types of Manchester United, so we cannot be influenced by everyone else connecting their players to us. There are agents throwing them at us. Such is the world of football. It's a cynical world."
