Solskjaer reacts to Man Utd's '20LEGEND' banner comeback

Man Utd fans have restored the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer banner to the Stretford End but David Moyes was uncomfortable with his own managerial banner.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists it will be 'special' to see his banner back on the Stretford End during Manchester United's Boxing Day visit of Huddersfield.

United fans paid homage to Solskjaer during his player career with a banner that read '20LEGEND' - a reference to his squad number and status. The banner was unfurled in the away end in the 5-1 victory at Cardiff and a duplicate has been restored to the Stretford End in time for the Huddersfield game.

A United supporters group arranged for a David Moyes banner to be on display for his first home match in charge in 2013 that read 'The Chosen One' but Moyes was uncomfortable with its presence and privately admitted he would rather have earned one. A Ryan Giggs banner reading 'Tearing you apart since 1991' stayed up for Giggs's first match in caretaker charge against Norwich in April 2014 but neither Louis van Gaal nor Jose Mourinho were immortalised on the Stretford End.

Solskjaer was repeatedly serenaded by United supporters, who swapped his name for Mourinho's in the 'I'm Into Something Good' chant, and chanted 'Solskjaer's Red Army' at Cardiff. Unlike Moyes, Solskjaer has no qualms about seeing a banner in tribute to him at Old Trafford.

"They're the best fans in the world," Solskjaer said. "Of course I have my history at the club and to see that banner is special. I just hope in the next five months I'll do a good enough job for them to keep singing my name.

"Of course you try to keep your emotion in check," Solskjaer added of managing at Old Trafford. "Because I'm there to do a job. I've got to be focused. It's not easy, I don't think it will be easy, but I'm looking forward to it and I think the boys are looking forward to playing at Old Trafford, that's the key.

"We should be looking forward to playing there. I was sat next to Rene Meulensteen in a reserve team game once as a coach, second-half, and I was there with Cardiff. But of course it will be special."
