Ashley Young reveals what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is really like in Manchester United dressing room
Man Utd captain Ashley Young has given an insight into what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is like inside the changing room
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer isn't afraid to shed his baby-faced assassin image in the dressing room and tell his Manchester United players that they've not been good enough.
Ashley Young has revealed that Solskjaer has a "horrible side" that most people don't see, a trait the club captain believes is invaluable as manager of United.
The Norwegian has a reputation as a friendly face to many United fans, but those inside the changing room know differently, according to Young, comparing the steely streak inside him to that of Sir Alex Ferguson .
"A lot of people in the press still see him as the baby-faced assassin. But it was like I said before, when he arrived it was like the boss [Sir Alex Ferguson] had walked back through the door," he said.
"When he gets down the business, it's serious. At times in the dressing room, he's had to lose it, and I think that's right when things aren't going well. You need to be told that.
"He's got a nice side and a horrible side, which I feel you need. A lot is said about managers, but it's down to the players at the end of the day."
