Ole Gunnar Solskjaer agrees with Gary Neville that Manchester United still has a lot of work to do both on and off the pitch to challenge the Premier League title.
The Red Devils are making a superb run, climbing to fifth place in the Premier League – just two points below Chelsea – and advancing to the English Cup semi-finals since the resumption of the season.
But speaking during the week, Man United legend Neville issued a warning to his former club and said they were still far from Liverpool and Man City.
Responding to Neville’s comments, Solskjaer said: ‘Gary is right in many things he says.
And of course we can’t think we’re there. If you look at the table, we are nowhere near where we should be.
Consistency needs to be improved and we still need to improve many aspects of the game.
‘I don’t know how many points we are behind the first two, but Gary is right: surely there will be no complacency and thought, “we broke it” because we have so much to do.
‘It’s a fun trip. We can see improvements but, yes, we have to make one or two – or more – excellent decisions.
“It will certainly be an important summer.”
Manchester United will expect to continue their impressive run on Saturday when Premier League Bournemouth relegation fighters visit Old Trafford.
Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson expects Solskjaer’s team to overcome the Cherries, saying to BBC Sport: “United are scoring fun and tearing teams – they are probably the last team Bournemouth wants to play at the moment.
‘I really fear for cherries. We used to be open on the back, but their attacking players usually cause real problems for opposing teams and I don’t know what happened to all of them.
“At the moment it looks like they are collapsing – there really seems to be a relegation ball suspended above the club and their performances at the moment are not close enough to change it.”
