Manchester United are still two years away from returning to the top, Andrew Cole has said.
Cole recently revealed that his old team need to rediscover their consistent streak on time to be relevant again.
According to him, he does not feel the Red Devils will compete for the title again before 2023 so Ole should focus on improving his squad in order to close the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City.
He added that Ole is a Man United legend, so he definitely has what it takes to get things right eventually.
His words, “Two years. You watched the game on Sunday, Manchester City and Liverpool, that’s the level Manchester United have to get to and that’s not going to happen by next season.
“Everything is a process. It’s about consistency. In football it’s consistency and confidence and if you marry those things together then football won’t change.
“You have to be consistent in that as well. The gaffer always used to say that if you had eight or nine playing well of course you can carry the team. If you’re all playing well then who is going to beat you? You need that belief.
“We used to beat teams in the tunnel. They’d want to keep us quiet for 20 minutes but we’d want to score two in the first 20 minutes – and, from there, everything is possible.
“It’ll take two years because you have to add players, improve, add two or three players and really improve the team. That’s where you find the consistency.
“Ole is a Man United legend and of course he knows what it takes. I hope he gets as much time as is needed. When United get it right, they get it right and they dominate because they got it right.”
