Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has explained why it's "natural" for him to focus on the young players, putting them on the forefront.
United boss has experienced ups and downs during his 12 months at Old Trafford, following Jose Mourinho in the club's manager role.
Since his appointment, Solskjaer decided to give playing time academy stars, including Mason Greenwood, James Garner, Tahith Chong and Brandon Williams.
Speaking on his managerial style, the Norwegian boss said:
"It’s natural to me to manage this way, but it’s because I’ve learnt all my management skills from the gaffer [Sir Alex Ferguson]. But I love giving young players a chance. I also love being direct and going forward when possible. We know we need to be better at controlling and dominating games, but that will come with experience. We have the youngest team in the Premier League, which is one way is fantastic. In another way, we know we’re going to get these inconsistencies."
Solskjaer has revealed he doesn't want to change his style as he looks to take the Red Devils back to the times when he played in charge of Alex Ferguson. He wants the club to remain their attacking side under his management.
"I think the Man United style is to be attacking. We need to try and win games in the way that Sir Alex’s teams did and the Busby Babes did. We want to win that way. It’s not always going to happen, but that’s what we need to aim for and strive for: winning in the right style. We have a responsibility and a duty for everyone who wants to come and watch us. But, we’re scoring goals now and we’re on our way," he added.
