Ole Gunnar Solskjaer aims dig at Jose Mourinho’s philosophy

Manchester United have benefited under the guidance of permanent boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the Red Devils have won nine of his 10 matches in charge. The manager, who came to replace sacked Jose Mouriniho has aimed a dig at him by underlining the importance of playing attacking football at Manchester United. Mourinho was heavily criticized for his pragmatic, defensive approach and Solskjaer says that philosophy does not work at Old Trafford, where the onus is on United to dominate. Solskjaer told Sky Sports: “It’s a winning identity. It’s a confident identity. We want to take risks. We want to go for the second, the third and the fourth goal because that’s just how we do things at Manchester United. If you can’t handle that then you are at the wrong club.” He continued: “The way we play with pace and power, we should never forget our history of counter-attacking, even though we are one of the teams that want to dominate games. If teams drop deep we need to have a way of playing against those teams but also when we defend we defend to win the ball to counter-attack quickly. “To win games you need to pass it forward and run forward.”
