But Redknapp says he was shocked by the Norwegians return to Old Trafford and believes a more experienced coach like Steve Bruce a former Man United captain would have been a better fit.It was a big shock to me when Solskjaers name was mentioned yesterday, he added.I thought Steve Bruce if they were looking for a short-term appointment until the end of the season. He knows the game, he knows the club, he captained the club and hes out of work.Harry thinks Steve Bruce would have been a better choice as caretaker boss4

Solskjaer certainly didnt strike me as being that person. He looks a nice lad, but he doesnt strike me as a manager of Manchester UnitedHe was a good player at United, but I could just see see Steve Bruce being more of a leader than him.

A football fan is to stand trial for allegedly punching three police horses on his way to the Scottish Cup match last week. Kevin McGuire, 35, is accused of "causing unnecessary suffering" to Nerston, Oban and Glasgow on January 19, 2019 at Kinloch Street, on his way to see Celtic play Airdieonians at Parkhead.

The right-back is one player you should definitely consider this week. He had some rest against Arsenal when the Hornets chose to push forward and in the second half by bringing on Isaac Success and like Gray has two decent fixtures. An assist against either will be the icing on the cake to any clean sheets.

New Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce says he had reservations about taking the job on but the lure of the challenge convinced him to accept. The 60-year-old succeeded Dick Advocaat on Friday, taking
