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.4

Harry thinks Steve Bruce would have been a better choice as caretaker boss

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.
