Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is convinced Louis van Gaal is proving himself the right appointment.

United hero Solskjaer reckons Van Gaal has reinvigorated the squad and restored the winning mentality usually associated with the 20-times champions.

"He's been a breath of fresh air," the former United striker told the Manchester Evening News. "The fans and the players needed a strong personality.

"You see he's talking about winning the championship. I think that's the Man United mentality.

"We shouldn't talk about being third or fourth. We should talk about winning the league."
