Meanwhile, Solskjaer is confident he will be able to turn things around when he recently pleaded for more time to enable him carry out the club’s rebuilding job. “We do have a way of doing things, of course. You can see other teams have done well.
“Jurgen [Klopp] spent four years building his [Liverpool] team, and they’re going well now.
“So, of course, I have said it a number of times, it’s not going to be a quick fix, and it’s not going to be eight players in or ten players in in one transfer window.
“We have had one transfer window, one proper one in the summer, because in January it is difficult, but we are still trying to do something now.
“When you start something you stick to that plan – well, for me anyway.
“I’m not going to change six or eight, nine, ten months after I got the job and start believing in a different way of doing things.
“I’m going to stick to what I have been trusted to do by the club, and hopefully that will be good enough.
They can see what we are doing is right, and we’ve just got to keep on – you know, it is one of these jobs, we know how football is these days.
“But all my conversations with the club have been positive.”
However, reports reaching National Daily reveal that the next four months are pivotal to Solskjaer’s future.
And only by meeting one of the two targets he’s been set can the Norweigan hope to stay in the job for next season.
