Why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is so confident about Man Utd’s chances"},"content":{"rendered":"

For the first time since the final day of the 2012\/13 season, Manchester United have ended a post-Christmas gameweek top of the Premier League.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s been a long and arduous journey for the Red Devils since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement, one which has seen four different managers try and, so far fail, to bring a 21st league title to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Although Man Utd leading the table at this stage hasn’t actually won them anything, it shows the progress they have been quietly making under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.<\/p>\n

But up next for the Red Devils is a trip to Anfield to face their bitter rivals Liverpool who, incidentally, sit in second place, three points behind Man Utd.<\/p>\n
