Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains confident that Manchester United see him as the right man to take them forward, reiterating there is no "quick fix" for the stumbling Premier League giants.

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

Solskjaer himself is under growing pressure but is confident United can turn things around on Sunday at Tranmere in the FA Cup fourth round.

"For me, we do have a way of doing things," he said at his pre-match press conference on Friday.

"Of course you can see other teams have done well. Jurgen (Klopp) spent four years building his team and they're doing well now, so of course -- I've said so many times -- it's not going to be a quick fix.

"And it's not going to be like eight players in or 10 players in one transfer window. We've had one proper transfer window in the summer because the Januarys they are difficult, but we are trying to do something now."
