Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Reveals What He Learned From Sir Alex Ferguson Beyond 'Borrowed' Team Talks

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted that he learned his style of man-management from Sir Alex Ferguson – as well as his team talks.

The newly-installed long-term Manchester United manager worked under the Scot for more than a decade, and told ESPN this week that he picked up a lot from his time with one of world football's all-time greats.

"I'm quite lucky because I did write a few diaries," he admitted. "I did think a lot about football so I do have vivid memories of things that happened and I've written some things down. Towards the end of my career I was more focused on what the manager said.
