Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes Manchester United are capable of
winning the treble this season.
Solskjaer was one of the heroes of the club's historic 1998/99
campaign, when United triumphed in the Premiership, the FA Cup and
the UEFA Champions League.
United are still involved in all three competitions this term and
are leading the way in the league, and Solskjaer feels the
achievement is within striking distance once again.
"I can see some similarities with the team now and the team we had
in 1999," the Norwegian told Dagbladet.
"We're back in 4-4-2, and we have a lot of pace in attack, like we
had with Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke.
"It looks good. It won't be easy, but we have the potential."
Solskjaer feels the arrival of Henrik Larsson on loan from
Helsingborgs has been a massive plus for United, despite the fact
that his own appearances have been restricted as a result.
Larsson has scored twice and contributed to several fine
performances since joining in January, but Solskjaer has not been
surprised by the impact he has had.
"I didn't expect anything else," he told MUTV.
"We all know Henrik is a quality player. I have said before I think
he is the best Scandinavian player since Michael Laudrup - and he
has shown that in training and games.
"His touch is something we can all learn from.
"You never stop learning as a player and Henrik has done a few
tricks in training that have had us all standing up and looking and
saying 'we have not seen that before'."
