United players 'convinced Solskjaer will stay'

Manchester United's players are convinced that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be appointed the club's long-term manager, according to a report.

Manchester United's players are reportedly convinced that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be appointed the club's long-term manager.

Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho at the helm in December, and the Norwegian has led the Red Devils to nine wins and one draw from his first 10 games in charge.

United are now within touching distance of the top four in the Premier League table, while they will enter next week's last-16 Champions League first leg with Paris Saint-Germain full of confidence.

Chris Smalling, Anthony Martial and Phil Jones have recently signed new contracts with the club, while it is thought that Ander Herrera, Ashley Young, Marcus Rashford and David de Gea will soon do the same.

According to The Sun, the club's players are 'queuing up to sign new deals' as they are convinced that Solskjaer will be placed in permanent control of the 20-time English champions.

United will travel to Fulham on Saturday afternoon knowing that a win over the struggling Cottagers would, temporarily at least, move them into fourth spot in the table.
