Speaking during a forum with Scandinavian supporters' club, United-Supporteren, Solskjaer said he had known the staff through the years since he was a player and now found it a little odd to be addressed by who he was.
"[Carrington receptionist] Kath was the first person I saw when I came here," he said.
