Former Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could well end up managing a side in England after his success in Norway, but his old boss Fergie says that he should wait a while longer.
British newspapers have speculated Solskjaer could one day return to United when 69-year-old Ferguson eventually retires — not that the Scot is showing any intention of that just days before he marks 25 years in the Old Trafford hot seat.
The ex-Norway international led Molde to their first championship at the weekend after taking the helm in January following a successful stint as reserve team coach at United, the club he was playing for when he retired in 2007.
“It’s a great achievement considering it’s his first year,” Ferguson told a news conference.
“He had a good spell with us with the reserve team, so he was not going into the job blind.”
Asked if he saw Solskjaer ever managing in England, Ferguson replied: “It’s possible, it depends when. I don’t think he should rush into that because experience is good and the experience he’s got at Molde is a very good one.
“He comes from the area (Molde), his wife and family are all back home there, he’s won the championship, there’s no need to hurry with that, time will come, the timing will be important for him.”
