Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has insisted he is the right man to make big decisions about personnel changes at Manchester United this summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Solskjaer was speaking ahead Wednesday night’s crucial Manchester derby at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

Are big changes needed at Man Utd? Five key things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. After initial joy in terms of results, United have struggled to rediscover their best form in recent weeks.<\/li>\n
  2. The attitude of several first-team players has been questioned by former stars such as Gary Neville.<\/li>\n
  3. Neville said Sunday’s 4-0 defeat at Everton was “a reality check for all of us”<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. There have been suggestions a number of players could be on their way out this summer.<\/li>\n
  5. United have lost six of their last eight games in all competitions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The heavy loss at Everton on Sunday \u2013 seen by many as the worst performance since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement \u2013 has increased speculation about a summer overhaul at United.<\/p>\n

    And while Solskjaer admits he is willing to oversee such an event, he has also expressed his admiration for the current group of players.<\/p>\n

    Asked if he is the right man to make big decisions about personnel changes this summer, Solskjaer said: “I would like to think so, yeah.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI like all these boys, I love them because they\u2019re great lads but I\u2019ve got to make a decision. I\u2019ve got to make a decision for the club.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI\u2019m managing the club and I help the players but I manage for the club and I\u2019m going to put all of my effort into making sure that we do what we think is right for the club.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Solskjaer: Many Man Utd players have what it takes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    United’s incredible turnaround against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League now feels like a distant memory.<\/p>\n

    But it’s those type of performances Solskjaer is holding onto as a sign that many of the current players are good enough to be retained this summer.<\/p>\n

    And the Norwegian went on to reiterate wholesale changes are not necessarily going to happen.<\/p>\n

    Solskjaer added: \u201cNow is not the time to talk about, or make, wholesale changes in the squad because [that squad] has been doing so great.<\/p>\n

    \u201cCity and Liverpool have taken more points than us in the last 18 games or whatever it is, and that\u2019s it. That\u2019s a great effort by the boys.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWhere we were when we came in, we\u2019ve really given it a go, and I\u2019ve got say that you can see loads of Man United standards \u2013 the DNA \u2013 in many of these players.<\/p>\n

    \u201cBut\u2026 as I\u2019ve said: of course you have to get players in and some players will have to go out.\u201d<\/p>\n
