Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reveals Sir Alex Ferguson congratulated him after Huddersfield win. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that Sir Alex Ferguson gave him some words of encouragement him following Manchester United’s 3-1 victory over Huddersfield. Jose Mourinho was replaced by Solskjaer after a dismal start to the 2018/19 campaign and United’s interim boss has the chance to make it three wins from three with a result against Bournemouth on Sunday. Solskjaer, who worked under Ferguson for his entire 11-year playing career with United, has been in regular contact with the legendary Scot since taking over the reins at Old Trafford.
