As soon as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was announced as the interim coach of Man United, there were suggestions that he was going to be faced with a tough challenge because of the bad state of the team before he took over.

The Red Devils had struggled to secure wins under the former Manager Jose Mourinho, which is the reason why he was brought in and he immediately made the difference by returning the team back to winning ways.

There is no doubt that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has excelled as an interim manager and has been tipped to take over the job at United on a permanent basis as a result of the feats he has achieved with the club.

The former United boss has therefore revealed that he had learned a lot from a video game, playing as a manager and had done that with different levels of clubs. He revealed that he had played the video game as a manager of Man United and Everton.

He noted that in the game, he was fired as a manager but had got a level of experience with the game which is a clear reflection of what could happen in the real world for him.
