Solskjaer to United: Cardiff stint not relevant to Old Trafford challenge, says Berg

Henning Berg is not concerned by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's failed stint at Cardiff City, believing the new interim Manchester United manager faces a very different challenge at Old Trafford.

Solskjaer was appointed as United's caretaker boss on Wednesday, replacing Jose Mourinho until the end of the season, but his previous experience in the Premier League was far from successful, overseeing Cardiff's relegation in 2014.

However, the former Norway forward has also twice guided Molde to the Tippeligaen title, which compatriot and former team-mate Berg believes will prove more relevant at a giant like United.

"I look at [Cardiff] as an experience for him, where he has tested himself in this league, but with a team that is fighting relegation and not a team that is looking to compete at the other end of the table," Berg told Sky Sports.
