Manchester United seem to have shown fight in recent games and are currently in good form. The pressure was starting to grow on Erik Ten Hag in late 2023 as results were going Man United's way.

Man United have not lost a game in 2024. They picked up 7 points in the last three Premier League games. Some of the players that are improving are Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford. Man United sit 6th in the Premier League table, and they have an important game this weekend against Aston Villa. With a win against Villa, Man United could be at 41 points and only 5 points near the Champions League spots.

Manchester United will need a win to have any hope of qualifying for the Champions League next season. Man United also hope to win the FA Cup; their next opponent will be Nottingham Forest in the fifth round. After Ten Hag seemed to remove some of the pressure off his shoulders, a former Man United manager expressed similar feelings about coaching the team.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spoke about how Ten Hag's situation is similar to his when he coached Manchester United. Solskjaer managed Manchester United from 2018 to 2021. Solskjaer says, "I know exactly what he [Ten Hag] is going through, in the good times and the hard times. We [Man United] want to get back to the top and I hope it will be with Erik.”

Solskjaer had some words for Marcus Rashford as well. Solskjaer said, "It's not my job to discuss his performances, but last season he was fantastic, and it's about consistency in football. I'm sure he had a booster shot last week, and I hope that will stimulate him."

Solskjaer wants a renovated Old Trafford or a new stadium for Manchester United

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spoke about the plans for a new stadium for Man United. Solskjaer said, "We have to move with the times, and at the moment, something has to happen. It's either renovation or a new stadium because we're falling behind if we're staying in the same place we have. It's going to divide fans for sure because history is important. But we traded The Cliff, which was iconic for United, and the Busby Babes, with Carrington. It looks like we might have to build a new stadium."
