Ryan Giggs has backed Manchester United to finish in the top four of the Premier League under their new permanent manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Solskjaer signed a three-year contract at Old Trafford on Thursday having originally returned to the club as interim boss in December.

The Red Devils have lost just one of 13 league games under Solskjaer while also progressing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

And club legend Giggs said: ‘I’m delighted to see Ole has got the job permanently.

‘OK, the last two games haven’t gone to plan, [but] if you have the momentum that the team have at the moment, that’s all you want.

‘It won’t be easy because there are some quality teams up there but with the players they’ve got and the momentum, I don’t see why we can’t get top four.’

Wales manager Giggs added: ‘Ole’s been in close contact with the manager (Ferguson) since he took over; why wouldn’t you?

‘The wisdom he’s got, the experience he’s got, it’s a great shoulder to lean on.

‘Ole’s his own person as well, he will want to do it his way.’

After agreeing to become United’s full-time manager, Solskjaer said: ‘From the first day I arrived, I felt at home at this special club.

‘It was an honour to be a Manchester United player, and then to start my coaching career here.

‘The last few months have been a fantastic experience and I want to thank all of the coaches, players and staff for the work we’ve done so far.’
