Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appreciates the support he's received from the club's top brass.

Solskjaer believes talk of crisis that has hit his team over the past two years has been overblown.

He told VG: "If the performances have not been good enough, we do something about it on the pitch and in our preparations. We wake each other up. But I do not feel like there have been as many crises as everyone else have been talking about.

"We took a choice two years ago that there were a lot of things to do. We had to replace a lot of things. We have been very aware that there would be tough times on the road. As responsible for these decisions, sitting on top, we just have to be mentally strong. And I have to say: The club's senior management has been very strong, they have stood rock solid behind the direction we staked out.

"We have had open and honest discussions: «If we do this, then it means that …» Those discussions have been honest enough for us to know that we had to make some tough decisions: Give youth a chance, give players with other qualities a chance, play in a different way, give the coaches enough time to implement the playing style and playing patterns."
