Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is doing an "amazing job" at Manchester United, according to Peter Schmeichel, who has advised his old club against bringing in "another big-name manager'.
“I think Ole has been absolutely fantastic,” the ex-United goalkeeper said during an Instagram Q&A.
“Fingers crossed that everyone in the boardroom and the ownership circle see the same thing, that they're happy with what got and don't see the need to change to yet another big-name manager.
“We have a big-name manager. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is one of the biggest names in Manchester United's history, so we don't need anybody else.
“Ole had them going really well. It was 11 games undefeated, before everything was closed down. It was a big shame, because the job that Ole's done, it really is an amazing job."
Schmeichel went on to express his belief that Solskjaer inherited a squad which needed a major overhaul, insisting he has had to be patient while making the right moves in the transfer market in order to effect significant change.
“I don't think he was given the best squad of players to do precisely what he wanted to do," the United legend added. "He realised very quickly it was going to take time and he spent that time wisely.
“The players he knew for sure that had to go, I think most of them have gone. I think the players he brought in were good, in the sense of what he wanted to do.
“So I'm actually looking at United being very successful this season, with the introduction of new players and still in touching distance of Champions League qualification.”
