Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said, “I want to feel the pressure of managing a club again”
November 2022 saw Solskjaer depart Old Trafford as a result of the team’s crushing losses to Watford, Manchester City, and rivals Liverpool.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has not let his desire of leading another historic club to fade away over two years after leaving Manchester United, and he has acknowledged that he has been missing the demanding environment of managing a top-tier football team.

“I’m capable of doing at least one club job. Somewhere I can be myself, somewhere exciting, and somewhere adventurous has to be the one. With all due respect, but where do you go after managing Manchester United for three years?
Of course I want to experience that pressure once more. You know, you miss that when you watch the games,” Solskjaer remarked on Friday to a small group of media members.
But after three years in charge of one of the most popular football teams in the world, Solskjaer—a former great player for United and a close friend of the team’s illustrious manager, Sir Alex Ferguson—said he wanted a little time off.
Managing against the world’s finest football players is your constant goal. The Premier League is both the hardest and the best league in the world.
“I’ve spent the last three years there. It is a difficult job, yes. You are the face of the greatest and best club in the world, which is an incredible job. You need to be prepared for scrutiny at all times. I therefore needed a break after I stepped away because I enjoyed it,” the 50-year-old remarked.
The formerly Norwegian striker expressed dissatisfaction over the ‘Red Devils” current Premier League sixth-place finish and expressed hope that they will find some consistency to climb the standings.
With 38 points after 23 games, United is seriously in danger of not qualifying for the Champions League the next season.

“With Jim Ratcliffe as the new United owner, it’s an extremely exciting time.” I believe it has given supporters and followers newfound faith. However, we must be more reliable. Even the stronger teams are not as reliable as they once were, as you can see.
“Liverpool scored 99-100 points two years ago; that’s consistency. We need at least 90 points and greater consistency if we want to win the championship once more, according to Solskjaer.
In English football circles, Ratcliffe’s proposal to replace Manchester United’s 114-year-old Old Trafford with a new stadium has generated some controversy.
Ratcliffe has affectionately dubbed his idea to build a stadium that can hold 90,000 people “the making of ‘Wembley of North.'”
Solskjaer, meanwhile, asserted that followers must adapt to the times.
“We need to adapt to the current conditions and go forward. We are lagging behind if we continue to play at Old Trafford, so as you say, something needs to happen there. Either a makeover or a new stadium.
“We require more stadiums, such as the fantastic Tottenham stadium, which is one example. That was also my final victory as Manchester United’s manager. What a lovely site it is. However, history is significant,” he continued.
Solskjaer is currently in India for three days, welcomed by Tilak Gaurang Shah, the owner of Ace of Pubs. Over the next few days, he will also travel to Mumbai and New Delhi.
We have demonstrated the close ties between the nation and the team by inviting Solskjaer to India. We also hope to fulfill the long-held ambitions of the club’s supporters with this tour,” Shah stated.
