Former-Manchester United player Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has backed his old-side to win their 21st Premier League title, despite their poor start to the campaign.
The Red Devils are slowly picking up form and after last weekend’s victory against league leaders Arsenal, David Moyes’ men are now just five points behind the table-toppers.
It was a tricky opening period for Moyes and co., with defeats coming against Liverpool, Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion, but it now looks like they are finally back on track and Solskjaer believes the title will either go to Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge.
As well as backing his former club, the now-Molde manager has revealed his dream to manage in the Premier League.
“I said it when I came back here that I just want to see if I can manage and if I enjoy it,” he told Sky Sports News. “If I do and there’s offers coming then I’d like to see myself in the Premier League one day.”
“David’s started slowly then the machinery has started to work now so I’m pleased with the progress they’ve made. Everyone’s talking about a bad, bad start but if you look at the other championship contenders they’re not very far ahead.
“Man United and Chelsea, those two for me are the main contenders. Of course Man United can win it, absolutely no problem. They’ve got the players to do it, they’ve got the history to do it, now when David is getting to know the players, I’m sure we’ll improve. I’m still saying ‘we’!
“After almost 15 years you still feel a part.”
