I think he enjoyed his time on the training ground, and we had a nice few chats, us and the staff.  "He encouraged us, he knows that we – the staff I've got – are Manchester United through and through."He knows that we will do whatever we can, up until the last second we're here, for us and Manchester United to do the best we can." Despite Solskjaer's strong start, some pundits have been keen to temper the excitement, pointing out that his three opponents – Cardiff City, Huddersfield Town and Bournemouth – have been modest. The Norwegian – whose only previously Premier League managerial experience came in an ill-fated spell at Cardiff – accepts he has no idea if he truly belongs at United's level, but he is adamant his familiarity with the club counts for something. "I don't know if I'm at home at this level, but I'm home at this club," he said."That's the thing, I've spent 15 years here, and seeing all these people when you walk through the corridors here, it's me and I'm comfortable in the environment."So, it's up to you [the media] to probably rate me if I'm up to the level, but I'm definitely enjoying my time back home."</blockquote>
