mer teammate of Solskjaer, will take temporary charge for the trip to Castellon.
Manchester United will travel to Spain for a crucial UEFA Champions League game against Villarreal on Tuesday.
The fixture is an important one for both teams with Villarreal and Man Utd currently level on points, two ahead of Atalanta in third.
A win of two goals or more on Tuesday night would guarantee safe passage to the knockout stage for Villarreal, while a win in any form would do it for United.
Unfortunately, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will not be in charge of the game following his sack on Sunday after a 4-1 defeat to Watford on Saturday in the English Premier League.
Michael Carrick, a former teammate of Solskjaer, will take temporary charge for the trip to Castellon.
After his sack, Ole has now sent a message to the team ahead of their game against Villarreal. Here are two key things he told the team.
- Believe in yourself: Ole told the team to believe in themselves and go all out for the desired result on Tuesday.
“Trust yourself. You know we are better than this. We have not been able to show it, but go out, chest out, enjoy being a Man United player on the biggest stage in the Champions League,” he said on MUTV.
“If and when you win the game, you go through to the next round.
- Utmost respect: Ole also said he has utmost respect for Carrick who will coach United against Villarreal.
“Michael (Carrick) is going to be in charge vs Villarreal. Michael, I have the utmost respect [for], I love Michael to bits.
“I’m becoming emotional now because he’s top. They’ll be fine. I’ll watch them and support them”
