Former Barcelona boss Guardiola reflected on his meteoric rise from a player at the Catalan club to overseeing a trophy-filled four years as manager from 2008 and backed Solskjaer to hit the ground running at United. "When a young manager like Solskjaer has this chance it is because the club decides he can do it. What happened in my case was similar... we were both young, had the opportunity and tried to do our best.
