'Let's go home, not interested' - Solskjaer reveals he abandoned scouting mission after seeing player had a mohawk

Manchester United boss Ole Gunner Solskjaer has revealed he once abandoned a scouting trip during his time coaching in Norway, as the player he had gone to watch had a mohawk.

Solskjaer, who was managing Molde in his home country at the time, had travelled with a member of his scouting team to watch a potential signing, only to be turned off from any possible deal because of his haircut.

Despite the fact several notable players, such as Marek Hamsik and Arturo Vidal - not to mention Solskjaer's former United team-mate David Beckham - have sported the mohawk look in their careers, the manager felt it was a bad sign.
