We have had the best boss in the world. We’ve had Sir Matt before then. We have a way of behaving and a way of playing. ‘It is so lovely to walk in here and Kath, the receptionist, still wants to be here. There is a reason players come here but there is also a reason the staff are employed. ‘The staff are here because they are the best at what they are doing. If we can have that continuity, with Kath or the kitchen staff, that’s so important. They know what’s expected and they know the culture of the club.’ There are gleaming bathrooms and everything you might expect from a five-star hotel Despite the picture perfect environment, Solskjaer will be working his players hard There has been an upturn in fortunes since the Norwegian took charge as interim boss Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
