Manchester United backed to finish in Premier League top four and secure Champions League qualification under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Manchester United have been backed to finish the season in the Premier League’s top four after enjoying a brilliant start to life under the management of club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.Solskjaer was appointed boss on an interim basis when Jose Mourinho was dismissed from his position last month, and he has gone on to guide United to four successive wins in his first four matches.He is just the second Manchester United manager to achieve this feat, after the legendary Sir Matt Busby, and Solskjaer is quickly becoming one of the favourites to be handed the job on a permanent basis at the end of the season.1

Solskjaer has admitted he wants to remain at Man United beyond the end of the season

And after Wednesday’s defeat of Newcastle moved Man United to within six points of the Champions League places, odds have dropped to as short as 3/1 for the Red Devils to secure a top four finish, according to Oddschecker.United were 14/1 to achieve this feat in the week leading up to Christmas, but the bookies have acted after Solskjaer’s exceptional start. Punters are also reacting, with 74 per cent of bets on the top four finish market going on United.Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek said:Ole Gunnar Solskjaer deserves great credit for completely shifting the mood around Old Trafford and they are now only six points off the Champions League places. However, the Norwegian couldnt have handpicked a better four games to start with so it will be interesting to see if he can continue to get results against the better sides.United’s four wins on the bounce have come against Cardiff – Solskjaer’s first opponents – Huddersfield, Bournemouth and Newcastle – four teams the Red Devils are clearly expected to beat.They have another easy game this weekend, with Championship strugglers Reading visiting Old Trafford in the FA Cup third round, before Solskjaer faces his first real test on January 13, when United have to travel to Wembley to take on Tottenham Hotspur, who currently sit second in the Premier League.
