Ole Gunnar Solskjr is making a strong claim to given the Manchester United job on a permanent basis, Rene Meulensteen has told talkSPORT.The Red Devils continued their resurgence under Norwegian with a 1-0 victory over Tottenham on Sunday making Solskjr the first United manager in history to win his first six competitive games in charge.The former striker has openly admitted he wants to keep the job beyond his initial caretaker period, and there will be many calling for their club hero to remain in charge after lifting the gloom left by former boss Jose Mourinho.3

Solskjr’s managerial credentials are looking more and more serious with every game

However, some would say hes done exactly what he was hired for to steady the ship and get the team back firing before a new full-time boss comes in.

Asked if Solskjr should be given the nod, Meulensteen who worked at Old Trafford for 12 years, including as first-team coach under Sir Alex Ferguson told talkSPORT: Hes definitely making a strong claim for itHes come in, hes obviously had a good chat with Fergie and hes hit the right notes right from the start the players have responded.They have started playing in a way the fans want to see and theyre winning games.3

Obviously there are still a lot of important games to come, but what hes done is brought some stability back within the club.They just need to wait a little bit to see how things develop and listen to Ole and how he would take the club forward.And if that is a way that can bring back the stability and the continuity that weve knew for so many years at the club, then I think it would be wise for the people to listen to it.Meulensteen has also backed Solskjr to lead Man United to a top-four finish this season.The win over Spurs saw them climb level on points with fifth-place Arsenal. United now sit just six points outside the top four, although they still have to face Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea before the end of the season.3

Man United had David de Gea to thank for a host of key saves against Spurs

If they keep going like theyre doing, I really think they can make a strong claim, Meulensteen added.There are so many games to play for and they have bigger games coming up against City and Liverpool, but Spurs was one of them too and if they can come out with good results I think they will get into the top four.Listen back toRene Meulensteen on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above!
