Solskjaer: I wasn't ready for Cardiff fight but I know Man Utd's DNA

The Norwegian struggled in his previous Premier League coaching post, but has thrived since returning to familiar surroundings at Old Trafford

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he "wasn’t ready for that fight" at Cardiff, but believes he is thriving on his Premier League return because he knows "the DNA and identity of Manchester United".

The Norwegian first took on a coaching role in British football back in January 2014, when he took over the struggling Bluebirds.

By September of that year he had been relieved of his duties, however, with relegation having been suffered and a slow start made to life in the Championship.
