Cardiff boss Solskjaer: Man City as strong as Man Utd Treble winners

Cardiff City boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is amazed by the strength of Manchester City's squad.

Solskjaer says City compare favourably with Manchester United's 1999 Treble winning squad.

"I thought we (United) had a terrific side but these are in great form," said Solskjaer. "You are talking about a squad with top quality.

"It is a great position to be in as a manager when you can rotate and have strikers on form like they have.

"Before his injury, Aguero was within the top five players in the world. You've got Ronaldo, Messi, Suarez, Zlatan (Ibrahimovic) and Aguero in the forward role. He's a terrific little player.

"But City have got top strikers and they can play with little David Silva in behind so he has got loads of attacking options. I'm sure the manager here does all he can to keep them focused."
