Schmeichel insists Solskjaer right man to lead Man Utd

Manchester United Treble winner Peter Schmeichel insists former teammate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the right man to lead the club.

Schmeichel says there is no else who could go into the club and "change the fortune of Manchester United in a split second".

The Dane told talkSPORT: "It is working quite well and it's working out quite well for the club as well.

"I don't think there was a question about how many changes needed to be done once he got the job.

"He didn't get the job full-time to begin with and the work he has to do is far from finished but I think he is doing really well.

"There's all sorts of headline likes 'Ole Out' and fair enough if you think that but give me another name.

"Who can go in and who can change the fortunes of Manchester United in a split second. I don't see that person out there.

"I am very comfortable with Ole as the Manchester United manager. He has the United DNA running through him, he understands the club and what needs to be done today, next week and also in five years.

"I think that's important. That continuity of how the club is. Every time we have hooked onto success we have managed to stay there for a long time. I am very happy with What Ole is doing and I see progression."
