Sheffield United vs Manchester United: Pre-match thoughts

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists he feels no extra pressure with highly rated Mauricio Pochettino on the market following his shock exit from Tottenham.

“Sorry to disappoint but it’s not going be about Jose or Mauricio,” Solskjaer said.

“I can start with it’s good to have Jose back definitely – especially for you guys, maybe for me because you can talk and write about everything else.

“And for Mauricio, it’s always sad when one of your colleagues, a good man, you lose your job before Christmas. It’s never nice to see so I just wish him all the best.

“In football you can never be surprised at anything, or you can’t be shocked at anything. For me, I’ve just got to focus on us.”

Asked if United links to Pochettino brings pressure, Solskjaer added: “No, it doesn’t bother me at all. I’ve got the best job in the world and I am sure if you’re in a job or if you’re out of a job and you’re a manager, you’d want this job.

“So, it doesn’t really matter, whatever happens around it. I’ve got to focus on my job at Man United, do it as well as we can.

“Obviously I speak with Ed (Woodward, executive vice-chairman), speak with the owners all the time about how we are going to move the club forward and that doesn’t change if some other clubs change their managers.”
