Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted it would be ‘miraculous’ if Manchester United challenge for the Premier League title next season, in an honest admission of the Red Devils’ current standing.United are already confirmed to miss out on a top four finish this term, with Solskjaer’s side battling to finish either fifth or sixth when they host Cardiff on the final day.United have struggled since Solskjaer was appointed manager on a permanent basis1

If the Red Devils end their campaign with a defeat to the Bluebirds, they are likely to end 2018/19 32 points behind the title winners – a huge gap which Solskjaer believes will be hard to close next term.“Challenging for the title next year would be a miraculous season because we are so far behind at the moment, points-wise,” he said in his pre-Cardiff press conference.“Next season, we’ve got to close that gap. If we manage to get to February or March and being close then that’s fantastic.” United hope to improve their on-pitch performances by restructuring behind the scenes, with the appointment of a technical director understood to be a long-term ambition of the club’s.One of the contenders for the position, Mike Phelan, was today confirmed as United’s assistant manager, and Solskjaer could not provide any real update on the search for the Red Devils’ first ever sporting director.“The club will announce when they feel they have found the right man,” he added. “Until then we will work under the same structure we have until now.”

I’m a young manager and Mick’s got more experience in a few more areas than I have.”

Chelsea news live: England striker sends Chelsea transfer

Who knows what the future holds for Chelsea and manager Maurizio Sarri right now? A top three finish, a League Cup final, and a Europa League final would see some managers secure but their Italian gaffer finds his position uncertain, while their transfer ban (which currently still stands) is making things worse. Sarri is unlikely to last too long at Stamford Bridge given the way they churn through coaches so Allegri is likely to be on alert for a move to west London.
