Solskjaer: playing for Man Utd carries risks

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes that he is the ideal manager for Manchester United as he understands the need risky and aggressive football. The red devils have won nine and drawn one of his 10 games in all competitions under the leadership of the interim leader, who succeeded José Mourinho in December.

Mourinho was often accused of set up a negative pla styleat Old Trafford, while Solskjaer, a favorite of the last 11 years as a club player, has encouraged a return to a bolder approach. United has scored 25 goals in the last 10 games of Solskjaer, as much as they have managed in the last 17 games of Mourinho, while players such as Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba, who combined for the winning goal at Leicester City on Sunday, have prospered.

And Solskjaer, who fought in Cardiff City in his only previous period as a manager of the Premier League, think only those who embrace United's philosophy of attack are likely to succeed.

"It's easier here because I know what are DNA and the identity of Manchester United and which Manchester United player is, "he told Sky Sports. "It's a winning identity. It's a confident identity. We want to take risks. We want to target the second, third and fourth goals because that's how we do things at Manchester United. If you can not handle that then you are in the wrong club. "

Solskjaer admits "It was not the right decision" to take over in Cardiff in 2014, when he failed to save the club from relegation to the league. The former striker thinks he's best suited to running a club like Unitedwho are more used to fight at the top of the table.

"It's a club and completely different situation to enter, "he says. I to know culture and identity club and style of play. Manchester United, of course, suits me much more than a club that fights towards the bottom of the table. I was not ready for this fight. I did not say that I was not ready for the Premier League. It's different. "

"My belief is trust the players and trust them The right way. Try to dominate the teams, try to win the matches the right way. To play as we do now with Manchester United. I should have reversed that mentality in a different team fighting against relegation.

"Since [retiring in] 2007, I have watched the majority of games and, of course, I had my opinion on what was going well and what was going wrong [at United]. So I think I was more prepared for this one. "
