“He’s one of the best players that’s ever walked on this planet,” Ole Gunner Solskjaer’s interview before the Manchester Derby

Manchester United boss Ole Gunner Solskjaer has spoken to the media to answer questions before the Manchester Derby on Saturday. Ole Gunner Solskjaer will be aiming to maintain their consistency against Manchester City which will be a tough job for the Red Devils.

After their humiliating 5-0 loss to Liverpool in Old Trafford, Manchester United has picked themselves up from the dirt winning 3-0 against Tottenham and drawing 2-2 against Atalanta for which the Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is to be thanked.

“He’s one of the best players that’s ever walked on this planet and his impact so far, on and off the pitch, has been absolutely immense. The goals he scores, the way he conducts himself in and around the place. So, how people can say that is a negative, I can’t see that one. We’re really, really pleased he has started off as well as he has, but that’s what he does. He scores goals, he works for his team, and he’s a top, top professional,” the Norwegian boss said in his pre match conference.

Solskjaer has had a good record against Manchester City in the past as he went up against them 8 times and won 4, drew 1 and lost 3. He will definitely be looking forward to bag a vital 3 points in their home ground to better their position in the League table.

“It’s a special one of course, the last time we had a Manchester derby with fans in the stadium the atmosphere was electric. I think everyone will still remember that one probably more so than any dark moments we’ve had,” Solskjaer said.

“You look at the next game. I’m not one to talk about what I’ve done. I’ve got a great respect and admiration for Pep and what he’s done. We’ve had a few good results against them, we’ve had some good games, tight games, and we need another performance like this.”
