Does Manchester United have the quality to win Champions League? Well, even if no one else believes it Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is convinced about it and has enough faith in his team. Optimistic about lifting the trophy for the fourth time, Gunnar mentioned that they might need luck on their side. United will be facing Barcelona in the two-legged quarter-final in April. The EPL giants are currently high on confidence after staging a dramatic comeback from a 2-0 first-leg deficit to knock out Paris Saint-Germain on away goals.
United have won the trophy in 1968, and then lifted it again in 1999 when Solskjaer scored the dramatic winner as United struck twice to defeat Bayern 2-1 and finally in 2008 against Chelsea in the penalty shootout. Solskjaer believes that this team has character and the circumstances are quite similar to United’s journey 20 years ago.
Surprisingly, it has been suggested to him that United are fated to be successful under him this season, as it is 20 years since the treble, and his jersey number used to bear the number 20. He mentioned that, with hard work and right attitude, the team is destined to clinch trophies.
