Solskjaer, 50, insisted that there would be “fights” in the dressing room when he was at the Red Devils.
Before he was a manager working at clubs like Molde and recommending a young Erling Haaland to United before going on to manage the club, he was a cult hero player for the club.
He spent 11 years as a player at Old Trafford, making 235 appearances in the Premier League and playing alongside some of the club’s biggest legends
The Norwegian praised leaders such as Roy Keane and Gary Neville for “shaking up” the team after a bad game, something that he argued was needed.
Solskjaer said: “The lads in that dressing room (when he was a player at Man United) were fantastic.
“Keano was the leader, the one everyone looked up to.
“Gary (Neville) is still the busiest back then as well.
“Winners, who hated losing. They had a few fights, like you should do, after bad games.

“You had to shake each other up.
“If you do that to the boys now, they will get their dad, or their mum, or their agents… snowflakes.
“Not many of today’s lot would have survived in that dressing room.”
Solskjaer was recently praised by former team-mate Dwight Yorke who suggested that Erik Ten Hag has not beena massive improvement on him despite the perception of the club changing.
The former striker pointed out that the Red Devils have lost more league games this season (nine) than in either of former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer‘s full seasons in charge (eight in 2019-20 and six in 2020-21).
