Ole Gunnar Solskjaer getting full-time Manchester United job ‘a CRAZY, CRAZY decision’, says former Chelsea star Craig Burley

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer getting full-time Manchester United job ‘a CRAZY, CRAZY decision’, says former Chelsea star Craig Burley

Manchester United have been hammered for giving in to ‘sentimental claptrap’ by appointing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their permanent manager.


Craig Burley, the former Chelsea midfielder and regular talkSPORT pundit, believes the Red Devils made a ‘crazy decision’ by giving the Norwegian the top job at Old Trafford last week.


Solskjaer has given the whole club a lift since he came in as caretaker boss to replace Jose Mourinho in December.

It was a dreadful night for Man United and Solskjaer at the Molineux



But he wasn’t smiling on Tuesday night, as United suffered their third defeat in four matches with a 2-1 loss against Wolves.


The result is a huge blow the club’s top four hopes, which Solskjaer had resurrected after overseeing a remarkable turnaround in form. Now, though, the wheels appear to have come off.


And Burnley believes the Premier League giants have made a big mistake.


“The decision to give Solskjaer the job full-time, I think it’s a crazy, crazy decision, particularly now before the end of the season,” he told The Sports Bar on Tuesday night.


“I’m not just saying this now after that game, because I’ve said it before.















“Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world and, on the evidence of what we’ve seen recently, they need a massive rebuilding job to be fighting back with Liverpool and Man City.


“To give the job to someone who is so inexperienced, with a so-so managerial record become he arrived, that’s not got ‘long-term strategy’ written all over it to me, that’s got ‘sentimental claptrap to appease fans’ written all over it.


“Manchester United have got shareholders and should have a longer-term, more clinical view of what the strategy is, rather than, ‘Oh, Ole has done great…’


“He has done great. He’s picked them off the floor. They were so miserable and when he came in they were happy and they started playing better, but the air has started coming out of the balloon and that’s the concern.”

Manchester City and England forward Raheem Sterling named FWA Footballer of the Year after winning PFA Young Player award

Manchester City and England forward Raheem Sterling named FWA Footballer of the Year after winning PFA Young Player award

Manchester City and England forward Raheem Sterling has been named Football Writers’ Association Footballer of the Year the day after picking up the PFA’s Young Player award.


Sterling has enjoyed a fine season for Pep Guardiola’s title chasers, with his 17 Premier League goals and 12 assists firing City to within two games of winning successive league championships.





Raheem Sterling is widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s best, and most important, players

Raheem Sterling is widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s best, and most important, players



He has also emerged as a key figure in football’s fight against racism, highlighting the bias against black footballers in the wake of being racially abused during a visit to Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge home last December.


The former Liverpool forward, 24, becomes the fourth Manchester City player to win the FWA award, after Don Revie in 1954/55, Bert Trautmann the following season, and Tony Book, who shared the award with Derby’s Dave Mackay in 1968/69.















Sterling topped the poll of the 400-strong FWA members with 62 per cent, which was 100 more votes than the runner up, Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk. Van Dijk was on Sunday crowned PFA Player of the Year.


Sterling’s Man City team-mate Sergio Aguero was in third place.


Newly-elected FWA Chair Carrie Brown said: “Raheem Sterling is a player of style and a man of substance.


“More than 70 years ago Charles Buchan, one of the founding fathers of the Footballer Writers’ Association, suggested there be an award presented to the player who by “precept and example” is considered the Footballer of the Year.


“Raheem Sterling is an exemplar of the talent and values our founding fathers sought to reward when they established the FWA in 1947.

“To have been voted the 2019 Footballer of the Year by our members, and with such an overwhelming majority, clearly acknowledges the contribution from a player over one season but it also recognises the huge impact of Raheem’s courage to challenge preconceptions and fight racism, which will leave a legacy not just for future generations in football but society as a whole. Eyes have been opened, voices found, we are listening and will be at the forefront of the continued drive for equality.


“On the pitch, Raheem has evolved into one of the most dangerous forwards in the world. A player long admired for his tactical intelligence, link-up play and quick feet has now added a devastating finish to his game. The Manchester City forward’s Champions League opener against Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium drew comparisons with Lionel Messi’s goal against Manchester United. Are we approaching a time where Barcelona’s maestro will be forced to cast a watchful glance over his dropped shoulder at the rising star of Sterling?

“Raheem didn’t set out to be a leader, but he is setting examples in society and in the game which the world is following with interest.


“I look forward to presenting him with the Sir Stanley Matthews Trophy on May 9.”


Other players to receive votes from FWA members were Harry Kane (Tottenham), Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Alexandre Lacazette (Arsenal), Bernardo Silva and David Silva (both Manchester City).

Manchester United vs Manchester City: Pep Guardiola unhappy with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s ‘tactical foul’ accusation

Pep Guardiola has hit back at Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after the Norwegian’s claim that Manchester City ‘will kick you’.


The Red Devils boss suggests his team will have to deal with tactical fouling during tonight’s Manchester derby at Old Trafford.





Solskjaer and Guardiola go head to head in the Premier League tonight

Solskjaer and Guardiola go head to head in the Premier League tonight



Solskjaer is not the first United manager to have claimed City might strategically foul opponents high up the pitch to prevent counter-attacks, with his predecessor Jose Mourinho having mentioned it last season.


“When we win it we have got to be ready for their aggression because they will snap at your ankles and heels and kick you,” Solskjaer said at his pre-match press conference. “They will not allow us easy counter-attacking. There will be fouls, no doubt about it.”


Guardiola reacted with surprise when this was mentioned at his own media briefing.















“Did he say that?” the Spaniard asked. “I never prepare a game in 10 seasons as a manager thinking about these kind of things, never.


“The players can talk about it better than me, the players I had at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and here.


“I know exactly what I said to my players from day one to the last day. When a player wants to attack, we have to be honest.

“Of course there is contact, there are fouls, but when it happens (it is because) you arrive late and that is why there are referees, to make yellow cards or red cards or whatever they decide.


“I prepare to do our own game, that is what I want, knowing of course the opponent, but I never said I’m going to do that to punish them or cancel them (by) making fouls. Never.”


Guardiola was asked if he thought comments such as Solskjaer’s could influence the referee.


“That’s the reason why, of course,” he said.
