But you live and you learn." He added on how things have changed after taking the reins with United: "This is a completely different club and situation to come into."I know the culture and identity of the club and the playing style. Manchester United, of course, suits me a lot more than a club that struggles towards the bottom of the table."I wasn’t ready for that fight. I didn’t say I wasn’t ready for the Premier League. That's different. "My belief is to trust players and to trust them to play the right way. To try to dominate teams, to try to win games the right way. To play the way that we do now with Manchester United."I should have flipped that mentality into a different one at a team that struggles against relegation if you know what I mean." Solskjaer has helped to push United back into contention for a top-four finish this season, while there are further Champions League and FA Cup challenges to come. "It is easier here because I know what the DNA and identity of Manchester United is and what a Manchester United player is," said the Treble-winning hero of the club’s past."It’s a winning identity. It’s a confident identity. "We want to take risks. We want to go for the second, the third and the fourth goal because that’s just how we do things at Manchester United."If you can’t handle that then you are at the wrong club."Many have suggested that Solskjaer has put himself in a position to land a permanent role at United, but reports of interest in the likes of Mauricio Pochettino and Zinedine Zidane continue to do the rounds ahead of a summer decision being made at Old Trafford.</blockquote>
