Solskjaer convinced Man Utd will give him time

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is convinced Manchester United will give him the time and backing to turn the stumbling giants around.

Back-to-back Premier League defeats by Liverpool and Burnley have been compounded by a toxic atmosphere around the club, with fans voicing their anger at United's owners the Glazer family and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.

Pressure is also ratcheting up on United manager Solskjaer but the 1999 treble hero is understood to retain the belief and confidence of the Old Trafford hierarchy.

United head to Tranmere in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday in desperate need of a victory but the Norwegian remains confident they are on the right track.

"When you start on something, you stick to that plan," Solskjaer told reporters on Friday.

"For me, anyway. I'm not going to change six or eight or nine or 10 months after I got the job and start believing in a different way of doing things.

"I'm going to stick to what I've been trusted to do by the club and hopefully that'll be good enough, and they can see what we're doing is right.

"It's one of these jobs -- we know how football is nowadays -- but all my conversations with the club have been positive."
"I feel I am, the club is strong. The staff I've got with me, they're very strong mentally so we're sticking to what we believe in and I've got full faith in what we're doing."
"We've had one proper transfer window in the summer because the Januarys are difficult, but we are trying to do something now."
