Fergie loved a bit of shit stirring with the media though when it came to transfers didn't he? Ole just trying to be old school perhaps.
Erling Haaland / signs for Dortmund

He doesn't have to be honest though, does he. He's not sworn to tell the truth.
I want to believe Ole's playing the media and Haaland is on his way to sign.
I am on the transfer train and I'm not getting off until it crashes.
Erling is travelling today on a plane
I can see that he still might be, heading for Spaaaaaa-ain oh and...
I can see Erling waving goodbye
God it looks like Erling, must think United are still shiii-te

I would just like a player who looks like he can be arsed put the effort in as a no9 - making the runs and being a thread from crosses and all the dozens of other things you expect from a main striker representing Man Utd. If you look at Martial and compare him to all of our main no9s for the past 30 years, where would you place him? If it isn't anywhere other than dead last, I'd like to know who you think is worse.
Haaland can be primary no9 and Martial can rotate with the others, or like someone else said, feck it - play 4-4-2 for shits and giggles.
Can any Norwegians confirm it's pretty common to connect out from Manchester in particular?
What is the point in posting that? Ole hasn't denied he's flying to Manchester, just that you can't fly to anywhere in the country from that airport. Manchester might be the closest flight to Leeds where his family connections are.
Said with a cheeky smile . You can fly anywhere from Stavanger. The connecting flights is surely Oslo. He is coming here.
Ole was clearly not denying that he's flown from Stavanger to Manchester. I think he means it's a small airport and you can't fly 'anywhere' as you can from a bigger airport such as manchester, so his destinations are limited.
It's clearly happening though

Still going to happen eventually, doesn't matter if Ole lied or not
In fairness it is Christmas and he is from Leeds..
That's what I think, too. But you never know. Gotta cover all these bases.
You wonder whether all the Dortmund stuff was Raiola's attempt to squeeze United for more money.
Long chat about Haaland by Macari, Ole hopeful of a signing on MUTV. This is done.
Whatever business would he even have in Manchester, he should have said family holiday!
It's not common. You connect through the big hubs like Frankfurt, Heathrow, Paris-Charles De Gaulle, Copenhagen, etc. I don't believe I have ever connected through Manchester.
What is a "business holiday" anyway. Counter-intuitive.
Christmas holiday
All reports in Norway has said that a decision was imminent. Now it’s obviously made. He ain’t coming here to visit or training ground to have a chat.
This is why the internet was invented. God bless you.
Haven't watched MUTV much for years, but back in the day they'd only really talk like that when a deal was going to happen.
Either he's keeping his cards very close to his chest or it's not looking good for signings this January. Definitely didn't give much encouragement.
LOL? That's the most negative interpretation I've seen on a situation this year.
Well, the normal route from Stavanger to the world is via Amsterdam, Oslo or Copenhagen. Sometimes London. I've travelled the world from Stavanger (it is my local airport), and I've never had a connection in Manchester, and to be frank never heard of anybody else who have either..
Links?!
Ole Gunna Cocktease Solskjaer.
Let the muppeteering commence!
Anyone live near Manchester Airport?

I have a good feeling about this. I think Haaland will be in red come January.
Could be coming to Manchester to have talks with another club?
The views expressed in this tweet do not represent my own
Some of it is kind of funny.
It’s a matter of availability really. Can’t just buy any player you want, many factors need to align for it to make sense. We’ll be better off long term by not buying over panic buying.
Just five minutes ago, it was live. The reaction to the Managers press conference, (first instalment). Basically they (Garner and Macari) said it should be called the Pogba and Haaland conference, as they were the dominant topic rather than the match. They talked about Haaland at length - as someone else says, would never happen unless the deal is more or less done.
No Manchester is not a big connection airport AFAIK. Flights to for example the US are often connecting via Iceland, Amsterdam, Frankfurt or Brussels. The only people i can think of who takes a plane to Manchester, who is not going to Manchester, are people who go to Liverpool
None of Ole's answers rule out Halaand being here to visit/tour the club.

Bury are expelled from the football league. There aren't many other options.
If he’s coming on a plane that stops in Manchester he’s surely having talks? Ole isn’t obviously going to say he’s having talks though is he?
Business holiday he said. It's on.
Even though he said "I don't think he's en route here, not through me"?
His father knows Ole, and so does Braut.
He should come here
He should come here
