Solskjaer may struggle to handle Manchester United's big players – Yorke

Dwight Yorke has questioned whether Manchester United interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has the personality to handle high-profile players.

Solskjaer was appointed as United's temporary boss on Wednesday, a day after the club had sacked Jose Mourinho.

First up for Solskjaer is a trip to his former side Cardiff City, whom he managed in 2014, and Yorke – who spent four years alongside the Norwegian at Old Trafford – doubts that his old team-mate has the ability to deal with United's big players, an area in which Mourinho reportedly struggled.

"I think he can't believe his luck that he's got this wonderful opportunity to come back to the club, I think he'd be the first to admit that," Yorke told beIN Sports.
