Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told what will keep him in Manchester United job next season

Manchester United qualifying for next season’s Champions League would cement Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s job as manager, according to former United star Dimitar Berbatov. The striker reckons Solskjaer will gain massive confidence from helping the team to a top-four finish. The Red Devils return to Premier League action against Tottenham on Friday. United had gone 11 games unbeaten in all competitions before the coronavirus outbreak. A 2-0 home win against current champions Manchester City had put Solskjaer’s men only three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea. “It's massive for United to finish in the top four. It won't be easy, but they need to take their chance, three points are nothing,” said Berbatov. “The first game is so important, they need to take their chance, if they do then there will be a massive change next season and it will be huge. It will give confidence to the manager, we all know he gets criticised and put under pressure and people are constantly speculating about his position, but this would cement him in the job, and that will be massive for next season because a Champions League spot will be there and that will seduce players, better players, bigger players to play for United, so it’s important and I hope they qualify. “I think the board of directors and the people who make the decisions have faith in Solskjaer, everybody can see that, and this is the most important thing. I’m sure they speak constantly, they give him their confidence to build and use young players. If they qualify for the Champions League, that will cement his position. “He shouldn't be seen as a transition figure anymore, it's disrespectful, it shows him no respect to what he is doing in his position. I want them to take that spot for Ole and three points are nothing. Pogba is back, and if they all stay fit for nine games, that will be great because a long transition like this without playing can be dangerous.” Source: Daily Star
