Manchester United news: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says winning trophies is only thing that matters, not a top four finish
Trophies matter at Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says.The caretaker manager is desperate for the Old Trafford job full-time and was speaking shortly after Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino created debate about the importance of silverware compared to finishing in the top four of the Premier League.2

Pochettino said qualifying for the Champions League is more important than winning a trophy

Pochettino, another name believed to be on the shortlist to take over permanently at United,made the claim after his side were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Chelsea and the FA Cup by Crystal Palace within the space of four days.If you win trophies, thats a fantastic day for everyone in the club,” Solskjaer said, stressing he was not criticising the Spurs manager.“The best time of your life is that day when you win because you never know when the next one is going to come.[Sir Alex Ferguson] always said whatever trophy you win, you have just got to enjoy it. Its not up to me to discuss whatever anyone else says, I am just saying that we here at this club, we are looking to win trophies.

However, it didn’t appear to buy the managers time, with Louis van Gaal sacked after winning the FA Cup in 2016 and Jose Mourinho getting the boot a season after winning the Europa League and Carabao Cup.Speaking to talkSPORT, former Old Trafford midfielder Paul Ince backed Pochettino for the United job, though understands why Solskjaer is among the leading contenders.2

Pochettino and Solskjaer are two of the candidates to take over as the permanent Man United manager

Listen, dont get me wrong he has certainly made Ed Woodward think about who is going to be the next manager but it is a big, big job,” Ince said.I know there are Man United fans that want Ole and if they keep winning games, gets into fourth place in the Premier League, gets into the final of the Champions League then Im sure he will be a strong candidate.If United beat Burnley on Tuesday night, it will be a ninth straight win for the Norwegian and the club would move level on points with fourth place Chelsea.Thats not the dream though, to be top four, Solskjaer said. Were Man United, you should always aim to win the league. We cant do that this year but we have to get back to that.
