Former Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger thinks Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the right man to coach the club.

Solskjaer is under pressure to re-ignite United after a poor end to last season.

Schweinsteiger says he has spoken with some of his former teammates, who have had nothing but good things to say about their manager.

"I'm glad they have re-started their team and the way they play," Schweinsteiger said. "It's about time because United is a huge club with amazing supporters and they have players in the squad who can really be dangerous.

"They should play a nice way of football and I really hope that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lets the team play to their abilities and as far as I can see, he has done a good job.

"I would really like to see them win [the Premier League]."

On Solskjaer specifically, Schweinsteiger added: "When you become the manager of a big club for the first time, it can't always be up, it also goes down. It's normal.

"I think he really understands how the team has to play football and as far as I can see and I have talked to some players, they are really happy with him.

"They have fantastic players, you just need to use them."
