Ryan Giggs' Advice For Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Former Manchester United player, Ryan Giggs has advised Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on how to get himself the permanent managerial position at Old Trafford by asking to push for top four spots.

Giggs told ESPN, “I think he [Solskjaer] does need a longer run, but he’s making a brilliant case for it. And if he carries on then why not [give him the job permanently?], because he’s got that experience with [assistant] Mick Phelan coming in as well.”

“He’s got the link to the club, Michael [Carrick] and the coaching staff, obviously Ole as well, and the players look like they are enjoying themselves, the fans are enjoying themselves. The whole place has had a massive lift, so if you can keep that, that says something.”

“But he will probably have to finish in the top four and do well in the FA Cup or the Champions League and then it would be very hard for him to not get the job.”

“It’s not easy and a lot of people have been slightly disrespectful, saying there’s no pressure. You put yourself under pressure. You’re the manager of the biggest club in the world, so you’re going to put yourself under pressure. For him [Solskjaer] to, for any team, to win seven on the bounce is not easy, no matter who you are playing.”

“In there, he’s had some relatively tricky games. OK, I think there’s probably bigger tests to come, but the momentum that he’s got [is there now]. The biggest thing for me, personally, is seven or eight games ago, you never knew your starting XI.”

“Now more or less, you may change one or two, whereas a couple of months ago I think everyone would be arguing, fans would be arguing five or six players needed changing. But now he’s got a pretty settled side, other than tweaking the odd player.”
