Solskjaer flattered by Villa interest

Molde manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is flattered to be considered the front-runner for the vacant Aston Villa job but expects other candidates to challenge him.

The former Manchester United forward met with Villa representatives on Friday after being flown to Birmingham by private jet.

"It is always flattering. When I was a footballer and United wanted to buy me I was flattered," he told Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet.
