Speaking to FourFourTwo about the major regret he had from his time as Man United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed: “There was something missing from my time at United: a trophy.
“One penalty [in the Europa League final] could have changed that and my time would be viewed differently. Trophies are important for a club like Man United and I understand that, but it was also important to lay down the foundation of good performances and I did that.”
Solskjaer came quite close to winning a trophy as Man United manager, but saw his side lose multiple semi-finals under him before that loss to Villarreal in the Europa League final in 2021.
The Norwegian also managed to guide the Red Devils to a second-place finish in the 2020/21 season, in which the club also went undefeated in Premier League away games.
Solskjaer has not taken up any managerial role since his departure from Old Trafford in 2022, but was recently linked to the Bayern Munich job in a possible interim manager role.
