Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been tipped to win a trophy at Old Trafford after the manager recently signed a new contract at the club.
Appointed initially as caretaker boss back in December 2019, Solskjaer was rewarded for his gradual progress by signing a new contract last month, keeping him at Old Trafford until the summer of 2024 with the option of an additional year.
Having wrapped up the signing of England international Jadon Sancho already this summer, plus be very close to securing the services of Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane, the expectation levels and pressure on Solskjaer are going to rise this season.
Nevertheless, former Manchester United striker Clayton Blackmore is confident that with the support he has around him, Solskjaer can win a trophy during his time as United manager - regardless of how long or short his tenure proves to be.
Speaking to Tribal Football, Blackmore said: "I think he's done brilliantly since he came in, he did well in Norway, and he's got people around him who back him up.
"Mike Phelan has a lot of experience and Sir Alex [Ferguson] is in the background as well, so they'll be talking all the time and you need that sometimes.
"Sometimes football isn't going your way and you want to change things, but if you trust yourself and your it'll work out.
"Last season we didn't play [Edinson] Cavani enough for me, but football is all about opinions and it's hard to find the balance in the team at times, week in week out.
"It was a crazy season, the team had to play Saturday-Wednesday every week which is really difficult.
"It would be nice for him to win a trophy; he's been to a few semi-finals and finals and we need to make sure we have our strongest team out.
"At times he hasn't done that, but again that's the balancing act you have to go through as a manager, but I'm sure he'll win something as the manager whilst at United."
