Manchester United coach reveals end season targets

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he is aiming higher than top four finish with Manchester United this season.

The caretaker boss, who has led the club to eight consecutive wins since he took over from Jose Mourinho says he will not be satisfied with the club finishing in the top four this season.

Former boss Mourinho said the club needs a miracle to qualify in the Champions League after being 11 points off but now the Red Devils are three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea. Despite the growing list of tough fixtures, United’s caretaker manager is demanding his team challenge on all fronts and win silverware as well as securing Champions League football next season.

“That is not the dream, though, to be top four. For Man Utd, you should always aim to win the league. We can’t do that this year, but we have to get back to the challenge. We’ve got the Champions League, we’ve got the FA Cup, we can’t just say we’ve got top four and that is it,” he said ahead of Burnley game.

“We have to look at if we can win something this year. As I’ve said, I go into every game as Man Utd manager thinking we can win this game.”
