'How can I make these players winners?' - Solskjaer using spirit of Fergie and Treble to lift Man Utd

The Old Trafford boss is instilling the characteristics of his former manager and team-mates to make his side a success ahead of their Barcelona clash

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is instilling the spirit of '99 in his Manchester United team - and he believes it can help him emulate his most famous victory.

The Norwegian is using the example of his Treble-winning former team-mates - and some of the methods of their leader Sir Alex Ferguson - to shape his current version of United.

He says what he has seen so far gives him the belief his team can pull off another shock, after coming back from the dead against Paris Saint-Germain in the last round, to fight their way past quarter-final opponents Barcelona and into the Champions League semi-finals.
