Embattled boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident Manchester United can improve following a stop-start run of results in all competitions.

The Red Devils have won only five of ten games in all competitions, while they are already out of the League Cup.

United dropped more Premier League points at the weekend, drawing 1-1 at home to a depleted Everton side.

Their next run of matches includes clashes such as Leicester City away, Liverpool at home, Tottenham Hotspur away, and Manchester City at home.

But Solskjaer is adamant that he can get the best out of his squad.

"It is the same question that was asked after Wednesday night," Solskjaer told reporters.

"I'm very confident that we will get the best out of this squad.

"A lot has happened this month and we've had Raphael and Jadon with us since August, and Cristiano since September. We've got loads to work on and we need to improve, we know that and I know that.

"But I do believe in this group of players and the coaching staff that I've got. So, the short answer is yes.

"I believe in these players, I believe in the coaching staff and I believe we have something going. The proof is in the pudding, we need results and you have to turn up.

"You can't say 'we did well against City and Tottenham last year', we have to do it during the 90 minutes, whoever plays. That is the challenge.

"Because every game in the Champions League and Premier League is a big game against a good team and every game as Manchester United is a potential banana skin, as we are expected to win every one."
