Can Manchester United win premier league
Manchester United chief Ed Woodward has lavishly praise on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and thrown his backing behind the club’s assault on the Premier League title.
United’s poor early start to the season saw Solskjaer come under heavy fire, with serious questions being asked about his position, though fortunes have massively risen in recent weeks.
The Red Devils have seven wins and two draws from the last nine Premier League results, in a run which has seen them rocket up the table and now have the opportunity to go joint top with bitter rivals Liverpool.
Speaking recently in the form his his pre-match notes prior to United’s late victory over Wolves, Woodward said: ‘There is much to be excited about on the pitch as Ole and the team head into the new year competing strongly in the Premier League and with three cups still to pursue,’ as report the Star.
‘The team’s positive form has lifted all our spirits in recent weeks, winning seven and drawing two of our last nine domestic games.
‘There are many positive statistics showing the progress made under Ole in the past year. But they tell only part of the story.
‘Just as important is the work we see being done behind the scenes to build a winning culture consistent with the club’s traditions of attacking football played by youthful, hard-working teams fusing homegrown talent with top-class recruits.
‘We are getting closer to those objectives as the squad continues to develop following the arrivals of Bruno Fernandes, Donny van de Beek, Alex Telles and Edinson Cavani.
‘Our ongoing investment reflects the tremendous resilience of the club and our commitment to supporting Ole, while remaining disciplined at an extremely challenging time.
‘As always, our priority is to win trophies and, with the team going into the new year competing on four fronts, we are optimistic about the path ahead in 2021.’
Victory over Aston Villa at Old Trafford on New Year’s Day will see United go top of the table, on 33 points with Liverpool after 16 games played.
