Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keeping in touch with his Manchester United players via WhatsApp during the coronavirus lockdown.
And the United boss revealed he is also passing the time like millions of others, home-schooling his children and watching plenty of TV.
“I keep in touch and communicate with the staff and the players,” said Solskjaer.
“I’m used to seeing them every day for hours and hours, so it’s different. I keep in touch with them on WhatsApp groups and messages.
“That’s the good thing now with technology and we’re lucky in that sense.”
As well as home-schooling his children, Solskjaer has been binging on box-sets and watching films during the enforced break from football.
“I think I’m the same as everyone else,” said Solskjaer.
“There’s some Peaky Blinders and the whole series to go through, with the different episodes and all the old ones like The Sopranos, just classics.
“I watched The Joker the other night, which was a bit of a wake-up call but, then again, we’re thinking about people now, as well, with mental-health issues, when you’re isolating on your own.”
“I’ve been in the garden, with the kids, working on finishing and the strikers should be working on finishing or their movement.
“We did that [home-schooling] last week when it started and that’s a bit different Homework is one thing but doing the actual teaching!
“We managed to get through last week, but you never know how long this is going to last. But the kids have been very good.”
Solskjaer praised the work of NHS staff during the crisis and said it was important to look out for the vulnerable during the lockdown.
"I'm thinking about people with mental health issues, when you're isolating and you're on your own now," said Solskjaer.
I think it's important that we as footballers, we as role models, we've got a difference to make.
"We can make a difference, just by sending messages out on social media and stuff. Our players are really good, they're good lads and I trust them.
"They're naturally fit anyway, they want to improve, so the training side is fine and they're good people and they send messages and try to encourage, because we've all got to adjust.
"We all know that sometimes we're the heroes - at the moment we should be the back-up support. Now the NHS and the health service, they're the real heroes now.
"It's the same for me in Norway now, I'm sitting here watching what's happening there now and I think we all realise now that we shouldn't save money on health. Health is the critical thing."
