Solskjaer Reveals All On Haaland, Ronaldo & United Exit | Stick to Football EP 22
Welcome back to Stick to Football, brought to you by SkyBet. On this week’s special episode we are delighted to be joined by former Manchester United player and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Joined by former team-mates Gary Neville and Roy Keane alongside Ian Wright, Jamie Carragher and Jill Scott, the hosts start the show tucking into a special Norwegian stew dish, and it doesn’t take long for Roy to remind Ole of his miss against Bayer Leverkusen in the 2002 Champions League semi-finals.
Having last spent time as a manager at Manchester United, Ole reveals what really went on at the club during his tenure, including how he nearly signed Declan Rice, Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham and what it was like working with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The man who made the 1999 Treble win possible also talks about what his winning goal against Bayern Munich and gives insight into the dressing room, telling never told before stories of what hobby Gary took up as a player and which guest Ole nearly had a fight with in the tunnel.
Finally we end on a min-quiz between Ole and Roy centred around the infamous Champions League semi-final against Bayer Leverkusen; who will have bragging rights between the former United duo?

Ole on Haaland❤️
United were unbeaten away for ages with Dan James
This is brilliant
Couldn't get past the first 5 mins.
(For me)
42:17 players not wanting to be captain
This interview is one year and everything said about United's inconsistency is still valid. Wow nothing has really changed.
LMFAO
2025…❤❤I TRULY LOVE OLE WITH MY WHOLE HEART..HE IS THE EXAMPLE OF WHAT A MAN AND A GENTLEMAN MUST BE..FOREVER OLE
E5xplains a lot about Ole's man united, they were amazing in most big games and were sorry in the games they should've always won. Ole's philosophy is exciting football to watch.
When are you going to have Dwight York?
Watching this again now in May 2025, it’s crazy how we hounded Ole out of the club as we felt he fell short on the standards of United! 😂
2nd and 3rd in the Prem, a European final, and look at the players he begged the club to buy – Haaland, Bellingham and Rice.
We could’ve genuinely gotten all 3 for under £100m.
What a farce of a club we’ve become 😢
Because It's the old norse viking stew
Roy Keane is by far the ex-player I dislike the most when I speak my mouth, along with Sholes.
7:01…..must've looked TWELVE😂😂😂😂
You're Manchester United. True United fans know you're Manchester United. You have never let us down. You are and always be a legend. You took a poison chalice. We will always love you
Manu need sol back as manager
United need to bring Ole back with Roy as an assistant coach whose main job is to roast the players into playing better.
Ole is the most humble legend ever. Great guy and great episode.
You can see how much Roy respects Ole's football decisions, mentality and overall everything.
I live this programme ❤
One of your best episodes..Ole has so many good stories, and he really knows how to tell them too
I LOVE the locker room vibe between former players, from any sport. Skill & ability faded as they got older but the passion never leaves⚽️🤙🏽❤️

Roy's reaction when Ole mentioned Fred🤣
20m for haaland :3
Good Video, take nothing away from that BUT
Ole might not get a managerial job at a top club again as he might tell the inside stuff after he's sacked or otherwise. Content and all is good but how could someone jeopardize themselves by doing this is beyond me.
come back Ole, it's time
I don’t get how Ronaldo didn’t work out. He had a very good first season
Part 2
Loved Ole on the wing. ❤
United management team are clowns
Having Roy Keane coming to cheer you up is like setting yourself on fire when you’re feeling cold 😂
That’s mad if ole would have went man utd might not have won the treble 🤯 glad he stayed legend ole ❤
ole is the best manager .. the real supporter knows not the fake fans
