Ryan Giggs has backed former teammate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to be named as the manager of Manchester United on a full-time basis.
Solskjaer has won 10 of his 12 matches in charge since replacing Jose Mourinho in December, and United now sit in fourth place in the Premier League standings.
United may bide their time before making a final decision over a permanent replacement for the Portuguese, but Giggs feels that the Norwegian is the right man for the job.
The Welshman told The Guardian: "We've messed around far too long. When you've got someone who knows the club, who is tactically astute, clearly has the players and fans on board, that gives you lots of momentum.
"There will be bumps in the road but most fans imagine what he could do with the money that's been spent the last few years. He studied the game while he had a bad injury and then he coached (the reserves) at the club. So I always thought he had that potential because he knows the game and has that inner steel."
Solskjaer faces an important week of fixtures with an FA Cup tie against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge being followed by a showdown with Liverpool at the weekend.
