MUFC Must Work Hard To Stay At The Top – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has come out to urge his players to remain focused in the EPL. He recently revealed that getting to the top of the table is the easy part of things, staying there requires a lot of concentration and determination.

According to him, there is a long way to go before his boys can begin to get carried away in the league with talks of becoming champions, so they should ignore distractions.

He added that the position MUFC is in right now is as a result of hard work, and that attitude must continue till the job is done.

His words, “The position we are in now is due to loads of hard work by everyone. We are halfway through the season and we are up there. But it is a really, really congested top of the table so we know every little run of form can move you away from teams, or a dip of form you drop down. We just need to keep the consistency,”

“It is not about getting there once – that is the easy bit, to go up the league. Staying there is the challenge and that is the challenge we are looking forward to. Focusing on every game and building this squad and hope that in the end we can lift the trophy. That is when you can talk about moving the team where it should be.”

“I don’t think it’s a different mindset at the moment for my group of players – where they are in the league. I don’t think it really enters their minds. We have a laser focus, there is a sharp focus on just the next game and to get momentum. To get to where we are now, we’ve been focused on doing the job day in, day out in training and every game matters,”

“This season the lead has changed so many times – I don’t know how many teams have been top of the league. The only thing that matters is who is there at the end and that is not something we discuss at the moment. We just need to keep our form, keep our shape and for everyone to be ready to perform when they have been asked.”
