Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the current Manchester United squad can entertain for years with its exciting brand of football.

United broke into the top four with a thumping victory over Fulham at the Craven Cottage. Paul Pogba opened the scoring with a sublime left foot finish followed by a superb solo effort from Anthony Martial. Pogba secured the three points as he netted his 11^th goal from the spot following a foul on Juan Mata inside the penalty box.

With Manchester City set to host Chelsea United could retain the fourth place if the defending champions get the better of Maurizio Sarri’s side. Solskjaer has managed to get the best out from all the United players and with Paris Saint Germain up ahead in the Champions League they need to maintain the momentum.

“I’ve always looked further ahead. I’ve followed United since I signed for them as a player. Of course I look at the squad, players, who can produce and perform now, next year and in two years?

“Even here you’ve got players who can perform for five, six, seven, eight, nine years because it’s such a young squad, an exciting squad.

“At the moment I’m just concentrating on getting us up the table, we’re fourth, let’s hope we can stay there and go higher.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been awarded the Premier League manager of the month for January.

Manchester United’s brilliant form since he took over the charge has helped them in closing the gap with the top four in the Premier League. The former United striker is yet to be defeated in his new role and deservingly has won the prestigious award.

Former manager Jose Mourinho failed to win the award even for once and the Solskjaer has become the first manager since Sir Alex Ferguson to receive the accolade.

United started the month with two straight wins over Newcastle United and Reading in the Premier League and FA Cup respectively. The Red Devils then edged out Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 followed by a closely contested victory against Brighton & Hove Albion.

A win over archrival Arsenal and a 2-2 draw with Burnley set the tone for an excellent February. The manager said, “Honestly, I’m a little bit against individual team awards for a team sport.

“but it means we’ve been the team of the month, so this is both for the staff and the players.

We complement each other really well,

”The hours and hours that Kieran and Michael spend on planning the sessions, doing the sessions, working with individuals. We’re a good group. We bounce off each other. Opinions are being thrown about in that office and in the end I’m the “lucky one” that has to make a decision on who to leave out or to play.

“We want to be winning games. We want to move up the table and this is the start of it.”

Jesse Lingard has heaped praises on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insisting the former Manchester United forward knows the pulse of the club and has forwarded the legacy to lead United’s recent revival.

Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho as the interim manager and since then has been a revelation. United are yet to loss a match under his guidance and looked solid in all department.

The likes of Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford have found their rhythm back and Solskjaer’s fluid attacking style has been the main reason behind their resurgence.

Top four looked to be a distant dream for the Red Devils but a string of wins in the last few matches has helped them to cut the gap to just two points with fourth placed Chelsea.

Lingard said, “Solskjaer and Mike Phelan have brought back the old school Manchester United.

They know the league and the club inside out so to pass that on and get us playing how we are has been perfect,

“Solskjaer is doing very well. Nobody can fault him. He has taken a lot on but he already knew what he was doing when he came in. He got the players backing him straight away.

“He told us there are big expectations and pressure at this club but we have to deal with it and play like a real United team. We will challenge for the title next season if we carry on how we are now.”
