Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in a mischievous mood when he was asked about the upcoming Manchester derby. Solskjaer, who has also featured for United as a player, was asked about how the Manchester derby has changed from his playing days to his managing days. In response, Ole stated, "At least we play every year now, it took many years before I played a Manchester derby myself.” Apparently, the Norwegian had to wait for five years before facing Manchester City, as the Blues were playing in second division at that time.
