Trying to build something new here at Old Trafford, admits Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

They may have started the season perfectly with an opening day win over Chelsea but Manchester United's run since then has seen the club win just one game in five Premier League games. A run that includes defeats to West Ham and Crystal Palace which has caused more than a few problems for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over the last few weeks.

Yet while the mood outside Old Trafford flaps violently back and front, the people inside believe that their plan is working and is working well. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is at the helm of that group, as the Norwegian believes that his plan is working and there is proof to show it is working. In an interview with Sky Sports, the former Molde manager went on to reveal that the atmosphere at the club is very different and that his plans to build something new are moving along well.

"It's not like the situation we had last year. There's no lack of desire there. For us it's about building a new culture, building a new team, bringing everybody together. Is it the job I expected? Yes. I never said this was going to be a quick-fix job. It's step after step after step," Solskjaer tells Sky Sports.

There are clear signs of a project in place at Old Trafford, with Solskjaer having already gotten rid of the deadwood at the club and brought in three new stars. All three have done relatively well so far for the club and for Solskjaer that is what matters. The 42-year-old went on to say that there will be a few bumps in the road but his project was always going to take time.

"Of course, we've hit a few bumps in the road, I never said this was going to be a quick-fix job. Rome wasn't built in a day. We need time, and the attitude of the boys has been great. [We must] keep working on improving the understanding and relationships between all players, and the style we want to play. I think hard work is important, but you have to do the right work.

"I think we've got further in our shape work when we haven't got the ball than when we do have the ball. To create is more difficult than to stop. If you look at Aaron and Dan, 21-year-olds, they're coming in and doing a good job. We're not expecting them to be leaders, but they'll have longevity, and they'll stay in the club and the team for many, many years,” concluded the Norwegian.
