Man Utd boss Solskjaer's stunning half-time admission which floored Cardiff City hero

Allowing Mark Hudson to leave Cardiff City in the manner he did is the worst thing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has done to someone in football, according to the Manchester United manager.

Hudson was a bona fide fan favourite in the Welsh capital and is still remembered fondly by Bluebirds fans for what he did for the club during his stint.

During his five years with the club, he donned the captain's armband and helped seal City's first promotion to the Premier League.

However, following relegation from the top flight, then Cardiff boss Solskjaer had sought to bolster his defensive options, recruiting Sean Morrison from Reading, with a deal for Bruno Manga seemingly in the works, too.

Hudson knew that would see his game time reduced, but when he confronted the manager he claims he was assured that would not be the case. But, just a day before the summer window closed, Solskjaer told him he could leave, affording Hudson no time at all to find a new club.

Fortunately, Huddersfield Town came in for him and, under David Wagner, Hudson and the Terriers earned promotion to the Premier League.

And it was during one Premier League fixture between Manchester United and Huddersfield Town in which Solskjaer sought to apologise to the former City captain.
