Manchester United midfielder, Scott McTominay, is convinced that manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the right man to lead the club.

Solskjaer is the club’s fourth full-time manager since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club and is the bookmakers’ second-favourite to be the second Premier League manager to be sacked this season.

But McTominay believes the Norwegian needs time to restore United to glory, after six seasons without a league title.

“It takes time for a new manager coming in.

“It’s not all of a sudden just going to click straight into place.

“Once Sir Alex left, it was going to take time for the club to find the right manager, and I do believe that we have the right manager now in Ole.

“You see different eras in football teams – everybody goes through transitional stages and we’re going through one right now.

“You have to have that continuity at any club.

“In this day and age, clubs are just willing to sack a manager without really thinking about the consequences for how that team is going to go forward in the next five or six years.

“Ole definitely has a plan for the short-term and long-term, and when you’ve got a guy like that, it’s important you stick by him,” the Scotland international told The Mirror.
