Ince tells Man United fans not to get carried away with Solskjaer
Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince has warned Manchester United supporters not to get carried away by the recent upsurge in form under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Solskjaer has overseen nine games so far and is yet to taste defeat – however Tuesday night's draw with Burnley signalled the end of a run of eight consecutive wins.
And Ince, who won 10 trophies during his time at Old Trafford between 1989 and 1995, has urged the fans not to get carried away and suggested the club still have some way to go to be challenging at the top again.
'People are getting ahead of themselves in suggesting that Solskjaer should be made permanent manager,' Ince wrote in his PaddyPower column. 'The game against Burnley, despite coming back into it, proved that the team aren’t there yet. I’m not saying he’s not done well, he’s been fantastic, but that doesn’t mean he’s ready for the job yet.'
The former England international branded the managerial carousel since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013 'embarrassing' and claimed they wasted time with Mourinho because 'he took them back a step'.
Despite the revolving door at United, Ince is unconvinced Solskjaer has the presence to deal with the pressures of managing such a big club and urged United to seriously consider Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino to permanently replace Mourinho.
'It’s far too early to give him a job of this magnitude yet,' he added. 'You’re talking about someone who has been managing at Molde – no disrespect to Ole.
'Are United not looking for someone with more presence? If things start going pear-shaped, has he got the presence to deal with it? The experience and the CV to manage players like Paul Pogba?
'It winds me up when people suggest that Pochettino isn’t the right man for the job just because he hasn’t won anything. It’s mental. He’s done more with that Tottenham side than other clubs have done with triple the budget! If you’re basing it off trophies, Solskjaer hasn’t won anything. Does that mean he should be ruled out, too? It’s a stupid argument.'
Solskjaer will hope to get back to winning ways this weekend when he takes his side to the King Power Stadium on Sunday for a Premier League clash with Leicester.
