Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits Manchester United needed to "change the culture" after he replaced Jose Mourinho as manager.
The Norwegian replaced Mourinho as caretaker manager in December 2018, winning the role permanently in the following March.
With his side now fifth on the Premier League table with nine games remaining, Solskjaer has reflected on his time at the club.
"I've been very pleased with the development of the players that were here," he says. "The signings we made have proven to be good acquisitions and the club - we took a step back and said we need to change the culture, change a few things - and I've been able to make decisions with their backing.
"For me, the group with the coaches is a great environment to work in. It's a great feeling when you're always looking forward to coming in and seeing everyone, which is one of the first steps we made. We needed to create an environment which is both challenging but also developing for the players.
"Obviously now we're coming to a crucial period for this team as well. Nine games left. It's a mini-season. But we have to catch up lost ground because of the period we lost too many points just after the start.
"So that is the challenge for us. The boys will have to perform now."
