Ole Gunnar Solskjaer continues to position himself as the literal opposite of Manchester United predecessor Jose Mourinho in every possible way.
After playing more expansive football, being happier in press conferences, constantly referring to the club’s illustrious past and not slagging players off in public, Solskjaer has now taken the opposite route to Mourinho when discussing transfers.
Where the Portuguese would use every opportunity to try and pressure the club into making new signings, Solskjaer instead believes that his two-year vision to restoring United as title challengers revolves more around improving the players already at the club.
“Well, I think it is about who we’ve got here as well,” the interim United boss said when asked how many players it would take to make this a title-challenging team.
“If every single player can improve by one or two per cent… so it is not about X amount of players.
“It has to be the right one, it has to be one who fits the personality, has to fit in with the team.
“It’s not just buy a superstar and that will fix things and suddenly we go from challenging to be among the top four and being the champions.”
