Solskjaer: coaching Man Utd

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has briskly returned to football, as last night he helped coaching Man Utd's reserve side against Sporting Lisbon in a friendly match.

The 34-year-old has not yet been given an official job title, but he is to work closely with technical skills development coach Rene Meulensteen, with particular emphasis on coaching strikers throughout the club's ranks.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson told ManUtd.com: "This is an ideal trip for Ole to come along and get involved with the coaching side of the game."
