Ole’s press conference to preview United v Saints
The manager sat down in front of his monitor to speak with reporters over video call, and he began by paying tribute to the late Jack Charlton following the sad announcement he had passed away.
Solskjaer went on to praise two influential players from his squad – Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford – before discussing his plans for the upcoming 2020/21 season. Here, you can read a full transcript of the press conference…
Jack Charlton has sadly passed away. You and I are both too young to remember him as a player, but certainly as a manager he leaves behind a great legacy. Do you have any memories of having met Jack or watching that famous Republic of Ireland from World Cups gone by?
“Yes of course. As you say, very sad news and a legend of football and a gentlemen. I watched Norway play Ireland in the World Cup in 1994, but he was always so, so passionate when he was speaking and it is sad to hear.”
