Remember Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the Baby-Faced Assassin? The Manchester United legendary super-sub now returns to his old stamping ground not as a player but as a coaching staff.

Solskjaer ended his playing career last year with United quite prematurely after a series of injuries forced him out of the game. But he was never quite out of the club as he occasionally involved with the Red Devils' youth academy and enjoyed that too.

In May Manchester United appointed Solskjaer as the new coach of the reserve side and he replaced Brian McClair and Jimmy Ryan. The former Norwegian international striker is very much eager to start his new role at Old Trafford but is wary that he has to embrace new ideas and new methods of coaching.

“I believe that you have to be because what was good enough for me when I was 18 or 19 isn't good enough for them nowadays,” Solskjaer told United’s official website. “I've learned so much about what I should have done when I was that age subsequently.

“I think you need to push them a bit, but the boys want to be pushed as well. It's not a doddle being a professional footballer, so I think they'll have to shed their fair share of sweat. I'm really looking forward to it. It's a great challenge.

“I did a few sessions last year and some with the youth team. I asked Choccy (Brian McClair) sometimes if I could have the Reserves to work with, to challenge myself because when you're doing coaching courses, you don't want to go in cold.

“I've enjoyed that and now they're my responsibility, so that's a better challenge as well.”
