Manchester United reaffirm stance on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Manchester United football director John Murtough has reaffirmed the club's belief in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after a mixed start to the new season.

Ten matches into the new campaign United sit fourth in the Premier League, third in Champions League Group F and have been knocked out of the Carabao Cup.

An inconsistent start has seen convincing victories against Leeds and Newcastle combined with poor performances in defeats to BSC Young Boys and Aston Villa, raising fresh concern from supporters about the progress being made by the club.

After a seismic summer, it is crucial United start building momentum if they are to fulfil their ambitions of seriously challenging for the Premier League this season and Murtough believes the club must stay focused on the task.
