Solskjaer targets Premier League title for Man United after permanent appointment

New Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has set his sights on winning the Premier League but concedes it is going "to be a mountain to climb".

Solskjaer was appointed on a three-year deal by United on Thursday following a successful spell in charge on an interim basis after Jose Mourinho's dismissal in December.

The Norwegian, who left Molde to return to the club he played for 366 times, won his first eight games in all competitions before inspiring an injury-hit United to the Champions League quarter-finals with a comeback win against Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain.
