OLE HAS MATURED

Well that is Fergie’s view anyway:

“We never regarded him as a natural wide player because when
players score goals like he can, and have the eye for goal
and two quick feet, you tend to say his best position is
striker. But he has proved he has the adaptability to play
in both wide positions. Maybe that is an example of the
experience he has gained at the club. You are seeing a far
more rounded mature player now.

“When he came to the club he was always treated as a
substitute and I admit I looked upon him in that way. But
over the last two seasons he has got more consistency, more
strength and greater experience. In the games that really
mattered last season he was a revelation.”
