According to Ole Gunnar Solskjær, they have to make sure they are better than them. They’ve been amazing for the past four years. they pursue them. they have been chasing the past four years and the results they have lagged behind. Now they have taken steps, but the next step is to be above them again, because they were above them last season. But this is history, and Ole hopes they can do something better this season.

Rashford is just coming back, Cavani has been looking for a long time when he could join them, so Ole expects them to get better, definitely.
It’s fun to have these kind of players to work with, and it’s about finding a balance between width and how big they serve, like Cavani and Ronaldo, two of the best boxing players in world football. Then they have exciting lionfish, goalkeepers, and Ole is confident that they will improve. Lately, they have lost some points that they are not happy with, but they are in the situation that they are in, and they have to take it from here and really go.
