“We were fighting against a great team and we know there's work to be done but I've said all along this isn't going to change overnight,” Solskjaer told a news conference. He also led them to an historic comeback after a 2-0 first-leg defeat at home to Paris St Germain in the Champions League last 16, going through on away goals with a 3-1 win in the French capital.
“We've got good players to work with and at the moment we've done really well to get to the quarters and challenge for top four, but we've got a rebuilding job. It starts with the coaches and players, and with one or two additions,” added the Norwegian.
