Gary Neville: Liverpool Win Will Secure Man United Job for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes a win for the Red Devils on Sunday against Liverpool would be enough for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to secure the manager's position on a permanent basis next season.

Solskjaer was appointed in December after Jose Mourinho was sacked. It followed United's lifeless 3-1 loss to Liverpool, which continued the club's worst start to a Premier League season.

The Norwegian has injected fresh impetus into the United side, with 11 wins, one draw and one defeat from his 13 games in charge in all competitions.

Neville thinks three points over Jurgen Klopp's title-chasing Liverpool would be enough for him to land the job beyond the 2018-19 term, per Sky Sports:

"Two or three months ago he would have been hopeful of getting the job, but if he beats Liverpool on Sunday, then I can't see any way he wouldn't get it.
