Solskjaer dismisses Van Persie criticism

Explore Business Standard

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hit back at criticism of his management style from former Red Devils striker Robin Van Persie, saying: "I'm not in medieval times."
Van Persie said Solskjaer "seems like a really nice guy" but that the Norwegian needed to be more "mean at times" and "more angry" and added: "You need to have fear as well for your coach."
"He probably doesn't have a right to criticise my management style and I won't change. That's definite. Robin took my number 20 (shirt) and that's probably all he's going to take from me as well. Because I'm not in medieval times."
