Manchester United FA Cup winner Paul McGrath says manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer isn't capable of winning silverware with the club.

Writing for the Sunday World, McGrath stated: "I like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. I like him as a person and as a man who understands the club and steadied the ship when it was in turmoil.

"But I am just not at all convinced that he is the man to turn Manchester United into a champion club again.

"That's a different job and there is no sign of it coming to fruition any time soon.

"Ole is lucky that quite a number of front-line media pundits around – think Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Andy Cole and Paul Scholes, all with big jobs in British television – are old team-mates and, understandably, are reluctant to put the boot in on him.

"But before you point out that the team sits second in the Premier League table this weekend, I offer the reply that Jose Mourinho (above) finished second with United too.

"And there were many, many, Manchester United supporters who could not wait to get rid of 'the Special One.'

"Jose also helped United win a few trophies in his time there, not lose in semi-finals on a regular basis."
