Man Utd news: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes WORRYING Liverpool and Man City admission
MANCHESTER UNITED boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted it will take a long time for the club to compete with Liverpool and Manchester City for the Premier League title.
He said: “The last couple of months have been extremely hard for the team and for the club and for the players.
“More or less the only positive from today is that the season is over. We meet again 1 July and we’ll work back to where we belong.
“To reach the leaders it will take a long time. For ourselves the short-term focus in the league will be getting into the top four.
“We’ve got the Europa League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup to go for a trophy because Manchester United can’t go many years without winning a trophy.

“Jose [Mourinho] won the Europa League last and that is a realistic ambition.
“In the league, the points we are behind the top two, they have been excellent those two. Absolutely exceptional.
“And we are five or six points behind Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea. They are the ones we have to make sure we catch up and don’t let anyone closer to us.
“We’ll need players in, we’ll need some characters in but of course you see Mason [Greenwood] today, he’s made for Manchester United and a player we’ll see a lot of.”
