Football: McClaren confident Solskjaer can get Man United into top four

Steve McClaren has backed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to guide the Red Devils into the top four once again. McClaren: "Without a doubt [Man Utd will get top four]. But [Ole Gunnar Solskjaer] needs to [win] quickly. Otherwise, you've got to win to keep your job, if you don’t win you don’t keep your job. So he's got to win. I always say, win in the short term and plan for the long term, because you can't plan unless you win so he's got to start doing that. [Jurgen] Klopp's going through the same thing, [Pep] Guardiola's going through exactly the same thing. Teams are coming through like Everton, Arsenal and Tottenham to a certain degree, and are challenging now. But it's a long season, and it isn't where you are now, it's where you are at the end. That was the great thing about [Alex Ferguson], he knew that, and he planned for that. When he had to be calm he was calm, when he had to go in there and kill a few, he killed a few."
