Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confessed it’s a lot more difficult watching Manchester United as a fan than it is as a player because you cannot influence what is happening on the pitch.
Solskjaer was on the Old Trafford field on Saturday to watch his Reserve team be presented their Champions’ medals and lift the league trophy but would clearly prefer to be out there playing.
“It is not so bad as a player,” said Solskjaer. “You are looking forward to the games and, in a sense, you are in charge of your own destiny. As a coach and a fan it is worse because you are standing on the outside. All you can do is stand there and hope. We still have a chance. We had that dreadful week where we went out against Bayern Munich and then drew with Blackburn. But you can’t feel sorry for yourself. It was time to respond and we have. We are in with a shout, which is where we wanted to be.”

Fergie, Sign him up!
Any chance of an “emergency” striker signing?!! Ole would do just nicely!
I feel for the guy
i remember cantona saying the same type of things
“If you have only one passion in life – football – and you pursue it to the exclusion of everything else, it becomes very dangerous. When you stop doing this activity it is as though you are dying. The death of that activity is a death in itself. “

The new home and away kits for next season confirmed.
@willierednut
Not bad, like the home kit. I wish the crest was embroidered onto the jersey though.
And trust me, it’s hard not having this guy in the team.
It’s hard to see Ole in a tracksuit or suit and not the United kit. Any chance of a comeback Ole, how’s the knee?!
Looking at the photo again I hope the home shirt is a better shade of red than the photo suggests, it looks more orange than red!
We could have used you against Blackburn Ole.
bchilds – I prefer the home one myself. On Ole, can he not come out of retirement for these last two games lol. ps fooking legend by the way
when i looked at the white one i got a mental image of giggs -fa cup -arsenal
@willierednut
That’s what I was thinking, I think if Wazza can’t make it a Berba/Ole partnership anyone???
I bet legendary strikers wish they could be on the pitch when they are as a manager..
that united away kit is fantastic
When i saw Ole coming out of the stand to say the last goodbye to OT fans. I cried.. That time i thought he was gonna say some emotional speech however, i feel he constrain himself. Well done. How i hope we can turn time back.
GHTT – It is similar to that one.
The collar is back for the home kit which is great – now I am sure Cantona is happy. But that away kit is probably worse than any away or 3rd kit in the past decade. Seriously that’s just crap.
@ willierednut – Just looked at the shirts for next season. Nike are fucking lazy no imagination behind the home one whatsoever. My Godson who’s only 5 could conjour up something which looks better. Like the away although I do think its a copy of a training top we once had with Vodafone on it.
NRD – Our home tops are always plain though, my favourite home jersy was 98/99 season, think it had the zip with the white collar.
willierednut – I suppose they are plain but Nikes best United shirt was the one we won the Carling Cup in 2006. I was still a teenager when the Nike deal was announced but to be honest Umbro and Adidas have made the best United Shirts by far. I for one will not be purchasing it.
Get Ole in for the last two games!
i think the home shirt is shit.
I think home kit is too casual, it’s just like a red shirt with club logo on it. It hasn’t been confirm on the club website yet so hopefully these are not official. Liked the away kit though, at least there’s a bit more thought in it – though it looks like one of those away shirt that we had back in 90s that I dont remember.
Ole > Owen ?
Ole the Legend!
Trust us Ole,we feel the pain worse-not being able to unleash our super-sub.
