Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Manchester United can WIN the Premier League

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer preceded Saturday’s derby at Old Trafford by saying that his Manchester United side can win the Premier League.

United, Solskjaer’s neighbor City, just lost the Champions League in the group stage with a loss to RB Leipzig on Tuesday.

But despite current problems related to results and the future of Paul Pogba and David de Gea, United have a four-game winning streak in the league and one point ahead of City in the table.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says his Manchester United team can win the Premier League title

When asked if the goal is to win the league for the first time since 2013, Solskjaer said: ‘During the season, or since the beginning of the new year, I believed that this team is improving and that we can present a challenge.

“Of course we have to improve from last season, but I don’t think any team will get away with it.

“ I go into every game wanting to win, so maybe that’s the answer to your question. If you win every game, you end up with a trophy. ‘

Solskjaer said Paul Pogba will be in the squad to play Man City, even though he wants to leave.

Another vaguely chaotic week for United began with a comeback at West Ham and was followed by a suggestion from Pogba’s agent that his time at the club was coming to an end and a howl from goalkeeper De Gea that contributed to the loss at Leipzig.

Solskjaer said: ‘What anyone’s representatives say cannot really affect me. I said what I wanted to say about that.

Paul is part of this team. He is very focused on contributing. He is hungry and hungry to play and wants to play. It will be in the template.

And I think David is a great goalkeeper. For me, he has handled criticism before and handled setbacks before.

“He’s a man we really trust.”
