EPL: Manchester United can win Premier League trophy this season – Solskjaer
Manchester United boss, Ole Gunner Solskjaer, has revealed the team among the 20 Premier League clubs that could win the title this season.
The Red Devils manager believes his side can win the title this season.
United face their city rivals, Manchester City in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The Red Devils bowed out of the Champions League on Wednesday after their 3-2 defeat to German side, RB Leipzig.
However, they can go within two points of leaders Tottenham if they manage to get the victory against City despite an inconsistent start to their domestic campaign.
"At Manchester United, you should always aim to win trophies," Solskjaer said.
"Of course, with the last three seasons, as they have been, there's been two teams far ahead of the rest of the pack.
"I got belief during the season, or since the turn of the new year, that this team is improving and that we can put up a challenge.
"Of course we need to improve on last season but I don't think any team will run away with it.
"I go into every single game wanting to win, so maybe that's the answer to your question. If you win every game you end up with a trophy," the United boss told a pre-match press conference on Friday.

Former Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney, has been appointed as the new manager of Derby County Football Club.
Rooney was offered a two-and-half-year deal which will run until the summer of 2023.
Derby County made the announcement in a statement via its website on Friday afternoon.
The statement read: "Derby County Football Club is delighted to confirm the appointment of Wayne Rooney as the club's new manager.
"The 35-year-old takes up the position on a two-and-half-year deal which will run until the summer of 2023."
Reacting, Rooney said: "To be given the opportunity to follow the likes of Brian Clough, Jim Smith, Frank Lampard and Phillip Cocu is such an honour and I can promise everyone involved in the club and all our fans, my staff and I will leave no stone unturned in achieving the potential I have witnessed over the last 12 months of this historic football club."
Rooney's first game as Derby's new permanent manager will be against Rotherham United in the Championship on Saturday.

"Well, I think we have as many injuries as them, it's just how football is.
"You get injuries and that's part and parcel of the game and I'll give everyone until tomorrow to prove their fitness to get to go to that game.
"We had a couple of knocks at Burnley that I'm not sure about.
"But I'm going to give everyone another day. Anthony is not out of it, the only ones certainly out are Brandon Williams and Phil Jones, they're the two that definitely can't make the game.
