We've done it for half a season now. Let's see. You can never say never."You cannot expect things to happen overnight and we know that. It will happen gradually and we have to be realistic enough as a club that we have to take it step by step.  "That's not changing 10 players now and bringing 10 players in. It's slowly, slowly but surely. It has to be the right quality, right personality, the right standards to get us back to where we want to be."United fans have been left to weigh up whether they would rather see neighbours City or equally fierce rivals Liverpool be crowned champions. "It's not about taking something away from others," Solskjaer added. "We have to want to overtake them, and not just because it's City and Liverpool."For a supporter, as I am, and as a manager now as well, we know [them well] because they are so close in the vicinity. "We want to be the best, we have been the best and it's not nice seeing those two at the top."</blockquote>
