Former Manchester United attacker Ji-sung Park has said that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should quickly get the players the club needs to improve next season.
United are on the back of a terrible 2018/19 season and are looking for new players, with a first signing yet to be made.
The Red Devils finished 6th in the league and were embarrassed out of the Champions League by Barcelona. They will play in the Europa League next season.
Park spent seven years at Man United and knows what winning major titles mean. He won 4 Premier League titles, three FA Cups and three League Cup trophies at Old Trafford.
The South Korean has also reflected on Solskjaer’s reign as United boss.
“I believe there was a psychological issue,” said Park, Goal reports. “At the beginning of his time as a manager at Man Utd, there was a strong motivation for finishing top four and also Champions League.
“But, after they knocked out of the Champions League, and lost a game in the league, they suffered from the pressure. I believe that kind of psychological pressure was hard for the players.
“About next season, it’s important for Man Utd to support their manager. Supporting the manager to get the players he wants. The quicker, the better, so that new players can spend the pre-season together with the current team.”
Despite the poor form towards the end of the season, Park believes Solskjaer is the right man to take the Red Devils forward.

“I believe he was the best man for Man Utd at that time,” Park told Goal. “He was interim manager which was a very good option for both the club and Ole because they both have an opportunity.
“Ole was different in the way he watches football. When he was watching the game from the bench, he was always thinking about ‘how can I change the game when I get into the pitch’. It’s not an easy way of thinking, and I believe it was a perfect attitude for every player.”
During Park’s time at United, he was one of the most reliable players and was loved by the fans. Here are some of his goals and assists:
