He is the goal-scoring legend of the Treble Triumph, a local hero
in Manchester and back home in Norway. But when Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer was announced in December 2018 as interim Manchester
United manager, his only Premier League experience was overseeing
Cardiff City's relegation. After a dismal time following Sir Alex
Ferguson's departure, could he really be the one to see the club
challenge again for major honours? It all started so well - a
record-breaking run of victories, Solskjaer seemingly the antidote
to the confusion of Moyes, the stagnation of Van Gaal, the trauma
of Mourinho, and the permanent job was secured. His first full
season in charge was a bumpy ride, but Solskjaer steered the club
to three semi-finals and a creditable third-place finish. He has
reinvigorated players like Luke Shaw, Paul Pogba and Marcus
Rashford, given opportunities to newcomers such as Mason Greenwood,
and brought in fresh talent in the shape of Bruno Fernandes,
Edinson Cavani and Harry Maguire. In this updated edition, Jackson
reveals how Solskjaer inspired United back into title contention
once again during 2020-21, also taking them to a European final. In
The Red Apprentice, Jamie Jackson takes the reader back to
Solskjaer's early days in Norway to discover the making of the man.
He relives his extraordinary playing career and that goal in the
Champions League final of 1999, exploring his move into coaching
and seeks an answer to the vital question: can he do it? Can Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer draw on his experience and knowledge of the United
way and bring the club its 21st league title?
When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer returned to Old Trafford as caretaker
manager midway through the 2018-19 season, he breathed new life
into a team that was drifting. In this new and definitive
biography, Jamie Jackson investigates why he was the perfect man
for the job to bring back the glory days. After the confusion under
David Moyes, the stagnation of Louis van Gaal and the growing
trauma under Jose Mourinho, Manchester United were a club
increasingly struggling to challenge for major honours, something
the fans had been accustomed to during the reign of Sir Alex
Ferguson. So when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a match-winning hero of the
Reds' great Treble-winning side returned to Old Trafford on 19
December 2018 as caretaker manager, he was welcomed with open arms.
Here was a man who understood what it was that the fans demanded,
and he had a plan to give it to them. They went on a
record-breaking run of victories that secured him the position on a
permanent basis, before old frailties re-emerged, showing the scale
of the job he had always dreamed of taking on. During the summer
transfer window, he began a dramatic reshaping of the team's
personnel to set them up for the 2019-20 season. The Red
Apprentice, Jamie Jackson's fascinating biography of Solskjaer,
takes the reader back to the Norwegian's early days to discover the
making of the man, relives the highlights of a stunning playing
career - and that Champions League-clinching goal in 1999 - and
explains why he is the natural choice for United in the future.
