Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes Manchester United can win the Premier League title this season. (More Football News)
United manager Solskjaer is under moun♈ting pressure heading into Saturday's derby🌟 against Manchester City following the club's Champions League group-stage exit.
Solskjaer's side are seventh in the Pr꧋emier League standings and five points be🐷hind leaders Tottenham as they prepare to host Pep Guardiola's City at Old Trafford.
United are looking to beat City for the third consecutive match in the top flight for the first time since a run of four victories from 2008 to 201𝓡0, and Solskjaer talked up the Red Devils' title cha✃llenge.
"At Manchester United, you should always aim to win trophies," said Solskౠjaer, with United yet to win a Premier League title since 2013.
"Of course, with the last three seasons, as they have been, there's been two teams far ahead of the rest of th🍬e pack.
"But I got belief during the season, or ✱since the turn of the year, that this team is improving and that we can put up a challenge.
"Of course we need to improve on last season, but I don't thinꦕk any team wi﷽ll run away with it.
"I go into every single game wanting to win and feeling that we can win, and if you win every game you end up with a trophy💟."
City have wo𒁃n seven Premier League matches at Old Trafford – more than any🤪 other visiting side, while United are eyeing a fifth consecutive league victory.
But just 21 per cent of United's Premier League point🍌s this season have been won in home games – the lowestꦍ share in the division in 2020-21.
Meanwhile, it rไemains to be seen what role United midfielder Paul Pogba plays against Ci𝓰ty.
Pogba – heavily linked to former club Juventus and LaLiga champions Real Madrid – appears set to leave United after his agent Mino Raiola claimed the French🌞man's time at the The♚atre of Dreams was "over" prior to Tuesday's 3-2 loss to RB Leipzig.
"I said during the week that this is a team game and Paul is part of this team," Solskjae🔥r added. "He's very focused on contributing when he's here. He's got the hunger and appetite to play and wants to play.
"He wants to train and he trains. There's been other players refusing to train and refusing to play - they're not here anymore of course - but ♊Paul's not once done that.
"He's just focused ꩵon performing when he gets a chance. That's the good th🅘ing about Paul.
"He's got the quality and the desire to do wel🐽l when he comes on, like he did against Leipzig. He had a positive impact. He's part of the squad for tomorrow.&qu♚ot;
