Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted that it is hard to watch Manchester United struggle in the Premier League. He added that it was never easy to see them sitting just above the relegation zone, as they were his family.
Speaking to BBC, Solskjaer claimed that he does not feel sorry for anyone associated with Manchester United. He believes that it is a privilege to be with the club and said via Metro:
He was furious with the recent transfer decisions by the club and claimed that he was stunned to see Fred and Scott McTominay leave. He claims that the two midfielders always give their best to the club on the pitch and said:
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked by Manchester United 4.5 years ago and is currently with Besiktas. The Red Devils are 15th in the league table with 39 points from 35 matches.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer went on to talk about Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes in his interview with BBC. He stated that the two Manchester United stars were brilliant in the 3-0 win and added that the duo and Victor Lindelof are the only players who have spoken to him since the sacking.
He said:
Manchester United lost 4-3 to Brentford on Sunday, May 4th, and missed the chance to jump up in the Premier League table. They host Athletic Bilbao at Old Trafford in the second leg on Thursday, May 8th.
