Clegg also hailed Solskjaer, claiming the United boss has the respect of the Old Trafford dressing room.
“I worked with Ole as a player and then when he became the reserve team manager,” Clegg added.
“He’s a great coach and could always pull something out of the air.
“Players need information to encourage them to really train hard, put the right vision in their minds.
“There are lots of coaches who can show them things, but you get someone like Ole and he’ll say ‘I’ll just show you something that I did when I was a player’.
“He’ll get all the cones out and show players, and they suddenly spark up and are like ‘wow!’, which is great.
“Ole used to tell me, in the gym, ‘this is how I’m going to score a goal’ and show me how he was going to do it.
“So when he says I’m going to put the ball through this goalkeeper’s legs on Saturday – and he does it – that’s worth thinking about.”
