'A good mood' - Blanc lays out the difference between Solskjaer and Mourinho at Man United

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has changed the mood at Manchester United according to his former team-mate Laurent Blanc, who felt there was "no more fun" at Old Trafford during the closing days of Jose Mourinho's reign.

Solskjaer was named United manager on a permanent basis last week following a superb run during his tenure as caretaker boss, which began in the aftermath of Mourinho's December sacking.

The former United and Norway striker has been widely hailed for evoking the spirit of the club's illustrious past under Alex Ferguson and Blanc believes the uplifting effect of the current feelgood factor at Old Trafford should not be underestimated.
