Former Chelsea defender Erland Johnsen is delighted seeing fellow Norwegian Ole Gunnar Solskjaer finding success with Manchester United.

Solskjaer's United remain top of the table after yesterday's 0-0 draw at Liverpool.

"I am very impressed with Solskjær. We should be proud of a coaching colleague who excels in one of the world's best leagues," said Johnsen, who played with Chelsea for eight years.

"I think Solskjær has been good at keeping a cool head and not getting carried away either when things are going badly or well. I think that is an important quality. There are many good clichés with 'one game at a time' and 'no one reads the table in the winter'."

Meanwhile, former Liverpool midfielder Oyvind Leonardsen also says: "I applaud Ole Gunnar, and I am proud that someone from the same place is the manager of such a large club. But I also played against him when he was a player at United, and I am supporting Liverpool."
