Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he once decided not to sign a transfer target because of their haircut.

Solskjaer has not been shy about admitting that attitude and personality are two factors he considers when buying players.

That has been true for him at United and his other clubs, and Solskjaer detailed to Sky Sports an incident when he did not sign a player due to his Mohican hairstyle.

The identity of the player Solskjaer was scouting at the time is unknown.

"I once went to see a player and as he walked out of the dressing room through the tunnel he had a Mohican (hairstyle)," Solskjaer told Sky Sports.

"I said to my scout: 'Nah let's go home, not interested.' That was a very short scouting trip."
