Man Utd manager Solskjaer: This project can take us back to the top

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists Manchester United are heading in the right direction after a poor 2018/19 campaign.

The Red Devils finished last season in sixth after replacing Jose Mourinho with Solskjaer in December.

But Solskjaer believes he has the necessary resources to take the club back to the summit of English football.

"We're waiting for the young ones to come through because we've got so many exciting players and I'm sure we'll see the best of them in the years to come," he said.

"We can get back to the level we were, definitely. It's such an honour [to manage United] but it is also a great responsibility.

"I'm following some great managers. Sir Alex [Ferguson] was the best and I'm trying to take the best from him and put my own personality on the job. We've got such a big fan-base and such a history that I feel that it is a fantastic opportunity for me.

"I come in at seven thinking I'm the first one and Michael [Carrick] and Kieran [McKenna] are already there planning the sessions. I know this club is going places because of the people we have here."
