David Moyes believes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has the tools at his disposal to win the Premier League title for Manchester United this campaign.
The return of Cristiano Ronaldo and the arrivals of Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane have raised expectation levels at the theatre of dreams, where the league trophy was last lifted in 2013.
Moyes, who replaced Sir Alex Ferguson as United manager after that triumph but lasted just 10 months in the job, believes Solskjaer has been given the time he was not afforded to finally end their nine-year drought.
He said: ‘I think Manchester United will always have to be competitive and try to win trophies, try to win the Premier League – that’s what that club does.
‘They’ve got a good balance of youth and experience in the squad. I think Ole’s been given a really good chance to build a squad and a team and I think he’s doing a good job.
‘He’s got a team that is more than capable this year of winning the Premier League.
‘I see it as a huge opportunity to manage the biggest club in the world. But I don’t blame anyone else other than myself. I needed to win more games.
‘At the biggest club in the world you have to win the games and unfortunately I didn’t win enough.
‘Ole’s doing a really good job. I think all managers at any club would ask for some time and if you get that chance it certainly helps you build your squad and get your thoughts over to your team.’
