If you previously had doubts about whether Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was the right man for Manchester United, then his first press conference in front of the media should change that opinion.

Solskjaer was appointed caretaker manager on Tuesday morning after the club sacked Jose Mourinho from his duties, and many jumped to criticise the appointment, pointing out his record at Cardiff City back in 2014 among other things.

But judging by Friday's presser, this man really is the right person to takeover at Old Trafford. Just check out some of these quotes.

"These are quality players. You play without fear, with courage. You go out there and express your skills. Take risks. I want the players to be the kids that love to play football and go out in front of the best fans in the world."

"That period at Cardiff was a huge step for me. I made a few mistakes, but If you don't make mistakes you're not going to learn."

"When you're at Manchester United there are a set of demands and one is to be a team player and I don't think anyone has been on the bench more than me. That's my comeback to players, you might come on make an impact."

"He's (Sir Alex) influenced me with everything. I've already been in touch with him, there's no one to get better advice from."

"I will have an input (Jan signings). The job now is get to know the players. I've seen more or less every game. What I think i can improve them on. That's my job. The club has the recruitment and scouting, i'm sure they have their targets."

"I didn't think twice when they called me to signed me as a player and I didn't this time either.

"This is more of an honour and a privilege. This is until the summer now."
