Ex-Liverpool Ace tells Solskjaer to prevent Ferguson from visiting club’s training ground, gives surprising reason

• Ole Solskjaer has been urged by former Liverpool star Steve Nicol to prevent Alex Ferguson from visiting Carrington
• Sir Alex Ferguson was at Manchester United’s training ground on Tuesday days after losing to Liverpool
• Steve Nicol has made it clear that Ole Solskjaer should not have allowed Sir Alex Ferguson to visit him in training

Former Liverpool player Steve Nicol has explained that current Manchester United manager Ole Solskjaer should not be happy with former coach Sir Alex Ferguson’s recent visit to Carrington.

The statement by the retired Scottish footballer comes after Sir Alex Ferguson visited Carrington on Tuesday 26 October, days after Manchester United’s embarrassing defeat to Liverpool.

Fans of the Old Trafford owners were angry and disappointed with Manchester United’s loss to Liverpool in the 5-0 Premier League game, putting pressure on Ole Solskjaer.

And since that loss to Liverpool in which Paul Pogba even received a red card, some top managers have been linked with a decision to replace Solskjaer at Manchester United.

Why was Sir Alex Ferguson at Carrington?

During his active playing time, Ole Solskjaer played under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United and the Scotsman has expressed his support for the Norwegian since he was appointed coach.

But according to the report on UK sun and Tribal, Steve Nicol explained that Ole Solskjaer should be disgusted to see Sir Alex Ferguson days after the loss to Liverpool.

Steve Nicol’s reaction

“If I am Ole, I would be disgusted. I absolutely hate the fact that Ferguson is in Carrington. It’s horrible, it looks really bad on the manager.

“It’s almost as if the teacher comes to remind a student what to do. It’s bad timing. If Fergie wants to go to Carrington, why not go after winning three or four at the trot.
