The red apprentice : Ole Gunnar Solskjær : the making of Manchester United's great hope
Jackson, Jamie (Writer on soccer)2021
Book
After the confusion under David Moyes, the stagnation of Louis van Gaal and the growing trauma under Jose Mourinho, Manchester United were a club increasingly appearing to be drifting away from challenging for the top. So when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a match-winning hero of the Reds' great Treble-winning side returned to Old Trafford on 19 December 2018 as caretaker manager, he was welcomed with open arms. Here was a man who understood what it was that the fans demanded, and had a plan to give it to them. They went on a record-breaking run of victories that secured him the position on a permanent basis, before old frailties re-emerged, showing the scale of the job he had always dreamed of taking on. This title takes the reader back to the Norwegian's early days to discover the making of the man, relives the highlights of a stunning playing career and explains why he is the natural choice for United.
