Solskjaer insists Man Utd can still win miracle Premier League title

By our reporter On Apr 18, 2021 0

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes Manchester United can still pull off a title miracle.

The Red Devils will close the gap on Pep Guardiola’s Premier League leaders to eight points with victory over Burnley on Sunday.

And Solskjaer has not given up hope that noisy neighbours City can be reeled in during the final six matches.

United manager Solskjaer said: “Can we catch City? Stranger things have happened in football. Bigger leads have been given away.

“They have been strong and it’s probably too much to hope and ask for. But as long as we do our job then that’s the main thing.”

There is evidence to suggest his aims are not a flight of fancy.

In both the 1997-98 and 2011-12 seasons, the Red Devils blew eight-point leads to lose the title to Arsenal and City respectively.

United checked into the Lowry Hotel ahead of their clash on Sunday.

Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Co had their game faces on as they arrived at the team’s headquarters.
