Should Manchester United be considered Premier League title contenders?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sees no reason why Manchester United can't win the Premier League this season… and a growing number are agreeing with him.

While his side are far from the finished article and have been inconsistent in the opening months of the season, they do still find themselves in a good position in the table.

After their 3-2 win at Sheffield United on Thursday night, former United midfielder Paul Scholes said they will be 'there or thereabouts' in the title reckoning come May.
