When it comes to sorting out the players though, Solskjaer faces a different kind of attitude problem than Fergie did when he arrived from Aberdeen. A contrast in personal priorities which encapsulates the difference between the needs of 1980s players and today’s. The first item in Ferguson’s in-tray in 1986 was sorting out men who were too fond of following each other to the pub. Solskjaer’s is sorting out the ones who are too fond of telling their agents to follow the money. How can he keep, or sign, better players than Sanchez when their agents demand his scale of pay?
