'Man Utd won't challenge for title next season' - Former chairman calls for rebuild and patience under Solskjaer

Martin Edwards oversaw plenty of success during his time at Old Trafford, but feels a return to the glory days may be some way off for the Red Devils

Manchester United will not be in contention for the Premier League title next season, says former chairman Martin Edwards, with “a rebuilding job” and patience required at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils have not come close to securing domestic dominance since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 with a 13th crown added to his remarkable roll of honour.

David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho have all failed to force the club back into contention, with the baton having now been passed to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
