Solskjaer says “there’s no one to get better advice from”, nor was there anybody better to learn from up close – even if it that meant the hairdryer treatment back in the day.“We’re all different to how we manage people and the manager was different to every individual,” the 45-year-old said.“Of course, maybe I should get the hairdryer out of my pocket because I’ve got a hairdryer – you know, when my hair needs lifting I use it on myself, but I am also not afraid of, if you like, laying down the law.“You know with your kids, when they disappoint you, you tell them off. You don’t give them some chocolate then, do you?“So you treat players similar to how you treat your kids, really, because you want the best for them, you want to guide them, you want to help them, but if I get disappointed…“Ask (my children) Noah, or Karna, or Elijah, or some of the players I’ve had in Molde. Once in a while you really have to tell them standards we’ve got.”You can listen to full commentary of Cardiff City vs Manchester United live on talkSPORT on Saturday, kick-off 5:30pm.
