At yesterday’s press conference in Perth, Australia, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer boldly stated, “We have to aim for better than fourth.”
While acknowledging United’s current level is outside the top quartet, the United boss pin-pointed several reasons why his side can meet the challenge: the quality already in the squad, hard work, focus and consistency. He also mentioned something about signing the right players.
Last week on the club’s in-house TV Channel, Solskjaer claimed that United had done well so far in the summer transfer window. That is not a view shared by many, but I suppose he’s not likely to openly criticize, especially given what the media platform was, and anyway, it’s not really his style.
