Whilst salivating and keeping a longing eye on the Champions League trophy that seems more like a mirage since those magical Sir Alex Ferguson days, Manchester United\u2019s reality has been more realistically rooted in winning back dominance in the Premier League with the ultimate aim of being again the best team in the land.<\/p>\n
Depending on the results of the coming matches, it is either Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s job, or his successor\u2019s, to take United to that promised Premier League land of milk and honey with this weekend\u2019s Manchester derby not only huge in terms of getting the Reds\u2019 domestic season back on track, but also in terms of saving the Norwegian\u2019s neck from the chopping block.<\/p>\n
Although a major portion of the fans are still loyal to the beleaguered manager, the Norwegian is only too well aware that he can ill afford another major debacle at the hands of their rivals like the apocalyptic trouncing handed out by Liverpool at Old Trafford three weeks ago.<\/p>\n
That said, the United boss had won everything as a player in his early days with the club and is keen to perpetuate that experience in his managerial capacity at his beloved club. When asked at Friday\u2019s press conference about the possibility, and even potential, of their bitter city rivals opponents Man City this Saturday eclipsing United\u2019s historic achievements in the coming years, the Old Trafford manager did his best to put up some form of resistance.<\/p>\n
