Man United fights are “difficult to observe” – ​​Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

The former head coach of Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, said that it is “never easy” to watch his former club “struggling”, “difficult to see”.

The legendary former term of office of the United Striker in Old Trafford surpassed between December 2018 and November 2021.

Solskjaer was appointed head coach of Besiktas on January 18 and signed a contract with the Turkish Super -League team until the end of the next season.

Although United looks good to reach her first final of the Europa League since Solskjaer's time in the club, he has enforced a difficult campaign. Under Ruben Amorim they are 15 in the Premier League table with four games that are still to be played.

“Man United is my family and will always be part of me,” Solskjaer told the BBC.

“In football, they are not sorry for anyone because we are privileged, absolutely 100% privileged to be able to work in such clubs.

“But it is difficult for me to see because it is your family who has problems. At the weekend it is never easy when you look at the table.”

Under Solskjaer, Besiktas are fourth place in the Turkish super league. You have the hopes for a top three-finish, which, depending on the result of the Turkish Cup final, would offer a playoff place in the Europa League for the competition of the next season.

When asked why he had chosen the reins in Besiktas, Salskjaer said: “The club is fantastic. I spoke to a lot without doing anything about it. This was the only thing I talked about where I looked back and thought I would be because there was so much potential.

“You feel that identity and culture in the club is geared towards you; the values ​​about honesty, community work. We were the first club in Turkey to go abroad to play. It is very similar to that in this sense. It only reminded me of Man United when I was there.”

Solskjaer will face the man he replaced on Saturday in Old Trafford, as Besiktas compete against Mourunhos Fenerbahce, who is second in the table, eight points from Galatasaray.

The 52-year-old said he was expecting a feverish atmosphere in the Fenerbahces Şükru Saracoğlu Stadium.

“I saw from the gala when they are at home and win these games, there is nothing better,” he says.

“If you are at home and don't win, there is nothing worse.

“Football is decided by moments. You see last night [Thursday]Athletic had two or three massive opportunities and Victor saves one in the goal line. Then everything changes.

“The margins between the profit and the loss of football are so close. It is better to have happiness than good.

“Hopefully it will be one of Josés bad nights.”
