Despite being a bit "overstretched", Solskjaer remained upbeat and said his side is ready for to go again ahead of their FA Cup fourth round match against Tranmere Rovers on Sunday (January 26).

United have 34 points from 24 league matches this season - 11 fewer than at this stage of the last campaign - but Solskjaer will continue to plan for the long-term at Old Trafford.

The Norwegian is hoping to get at least one signing "over the line" in the January transfer window following injuries to Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay.
