PREMIER LEAGUE: Man United players are not as good as they think they are - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
“Agents and family members get into their heads and tell them they’re better than they are because they have a vested interest. It’s a disease of modern football,” Solskjaer said.
“I am doing a lot of coaching, four times per week and we have three teams,” Ole said.
“I’m helping the kids, who enjoy it. You see a different side to football, the grassroots - except it’s all plastic pitches here.”
)
Speaking further on his new adventure, Ole added that he misses coaching in the big leagues but is enjoying himself.
“But you start to miss it,” he added. “Since I left United, i have travelled around as a fan with my kids to places like Napoli, Milan and Dortmund.

“My role with UEFA means watching Champions League matches in person. I can watch teams from a different perspective than being a manager, analyse them, solve problems, see how both teams will try to hurt each other.”
