OTC Special: Ole Gunnar Solskjær on Istanbul and the transition from player to manager

Before last week’s Europa League final, Dotun and Andy flew to Istanbul to meet former Beşiktaş manager and Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjær and record a special episode in front of a live audience!

Ole told us all about his life in Istanbul, his fond memories of the city and, of course, his incredible time at Manchester United as both a player and a coach.

Thank you to official UEFA Europa League partners Enterprise for hosting us in Istanbul for the game.
