Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a huge job ahead of him at Manchester United this summer

Darren Gough discusses if Manchester United should sign Wan-Bissaka Solskjaer is hoping to give his squad a much-needed face lift in the summer transfer window, after a season which saw the Red Devils miss out on Champions League football and finish a huge 32 points adrift of champions Manchester City.A number of players are expected to leave, while names including Matthijs de Ligt, Ivan Rakitic, Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Joao Felix have been linked with moves to Old Trafford.Some supporters were frustrated at the end of the season, with Uniteds form dovetailing after their initial improvement when Solskjaer first arrived.But Ferdinand has insisted it will take time for United to catch up with City and Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table. Man United fans have to be patient, the Old Trafford legend told Wednesdays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.The strength of Liverpool and Man City, how many points ahead they are and how far ahead they are in terms of what theyre delivering on the pitch, is huge at the moment. To close that gap is going to take some going.But I think its more than just the first-team, I think the whole philosophy of the club, there needs to be a clear picture and Im sure Ole is in the process of creating that.You think of Liverpool, when Klopp came in he had time to really implement his ideas, what he believes is the right strategy to go forward from a recruitment point of view but also playing style.It was the same for Pep Guardiola.getty3

It took four years for Jurgen Klopp to transform Liverpool from a top-eight Premier League side to champions of Europe

If Ole can get that time and can get that right, and get his ideas into the players with clarity, then theyre onto a good thing.But I dont this is an overnight turnaround at all.Asked if he believes Solskjaer is the right man for the mammoth task at Old Trafford, Ferdinand replied: Yeah I think he is.Obviously I know him from when I played with him, and there was a steely side to him that a lot of people who didnt play with him wouldnt know about.getty3

Solskjaer is the right man to lead Man United forward, believes Rio Ferdinand

Hes willing to make big decisions.This window is going to be a lot more difficult, there is going to be more scrutiny and eyes on him as hes got the job full-time, but I do think hes capable.The recruitment has been well talked about and well documented, but it is so important for Manchester United where theyre at now, its a huge part they need to get right.
