‘We’ve got good people running our club’: Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fires back at Sevilla chief Monchi after he criticised Old Trafford chiefs for failing to appoint a director of football

  • Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hit back at Sevilla’s Monchi 
  • The sporting director questioned why the club had no director of football 
  • The Norwegian said he is happy with how things are handled at Old Trafford  

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hit back at criticism of Manchester United’s transfer policy from Sevilla’s sporting director Monchi.

United have come under fire for failing to sign Jadon Sancho or a top centre-half during the window with Monchi describing the lack of a director of football at Old Trafford as a mystery.

‘All clubs should have one. It is very difficult to understand,’ said the esteemed talent-spotter of Europa League winners Sevilla, who beat United in the semi-finals. His signings there have included Dani Alves and Ivan Rakitic, both of whom went on to Barcelona.

But Solskjaer is happy to tell Monchi to mind his own business. He said: ‘There are always people who want to talk about how well they’re running things and how well they’re doing.

‘We’ve all got different views on how football should be played and how clubs should be run. We’ve got good people running our club.

‘It’s not for me to say (whether there should be a director of football).’
