Man Utd hero O'Shea says Solskjaer the right man in charge

Former Manchester United defender John O'Shea says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the right man in charge.

United have lost two of their opening six Premier League matches and are now preparing for the visit of Arsenal on Monday.

"The club has spoken recently about sticking behind Ole and having a plan in place," O'Shea told Sky Sports.

"It's going to take time but Ole and the staff will know that they are going to need to get results along the way. They cannot let performances drop too low. They have to maintain standards.

"Everyone at the club has to look in the mirror and ask whether they are doing the best for the players and the coaching staff.

"It's a work in progress. The success is not there on the pitch at the moment so people are naturally looking more at the off-the-field issues. The people in power must want the best for the club and it will hurt them looking across the city at what other teams close by are doing.

"They need to have trust in the people they have put in place. It can turn around quite quickly if you get things right in the transfer windows."
