'In big games, he's a magician': Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hailed by his former player... but Manchester United boss 'could do better' in less crucial games, says ex-Molde star Ruben Gabrielsen

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been hailed as a 'magician' in crunch games but has been told he can still do better in the less important matches by one of his former Molde players.

Solskjaer's managerial career at Old Trafford got off to a blistering start but shortly after being appointed permanent boss last March, United slipped back into their inconsistent ways and finished sixth in the Premier League.

And they continued their stuttering form into this season too, which led to calls for former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino to replace Solskjaer at United.
