Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says his Manchester United players will not be affected by Jose Mourinho’s return to Old Trafford with Tottenham on Wednesday
“Very good reception,” Solskjaer said of the expected Old Trafford welcome for Mourinho. “Of course that’s just a testament to this club and the supporters of this club.
” Of course they remember the two-and-a-half years he was here, he won trophies. I’m 100 per cent sure our fans will welcome him, and the staff and the club, everyone.
“I can’t remember the league position we were in [when I replaced Mourinho] but I’ve had now 50 games since then and the club isn’t where it should have been and isn’t where we want to be and we know we have to improve.
“We are working hard to do that right and when you change manager halfway through the season it isn’t where it is supposed to be.” )
