"It's been three years for Solskjaer as a manager and I believe that this will be the defining season for him, in terms of whether he continues at the club," Park told Goal.[via Daily Mail]

"I think that he deserves credit for what he's done at United, and deserves to fight [for his job] until the end of the season, but he needs to show he can continue after that."

"Therefore, I believe we should wait until the end of this season and then see. But if he can't show [he's good enough], it will be difficult for him to continue."


Speaking Further, Sung Pinpointed Legendary Manchester United Striker, Wayne Rooney as a capable successor to Solskjær should the Norwegian get relieved of his coaching duties at the Old Trafford.

"I believe Wayne can make it,' Park said. 'He had great experiences from his very young age and he also had many difficult moments in his career that he overcame eventually.

"For sure, he has great leadership skills as well. So, I believe he can be United's manager in the future."
