Suddenly, finishing outside the top four would feel like failure, but Smalling is keen to highlight the size of the task that was facing them when Solskjaer took charge.Before Ole took over, it [finishing in the top four] was something we wanted, but it was so far off, he told talkSPORT.The fact that weve worked so hard over these months and to be within touching distance now is where the real hard work starts and where the real pressure is. Ultimately those first few months, we were so far off that we had nothing to lose. Whereas now, weve really climbed that table and closed that points gap, so we just need to carry it on and make sure that these last few months werent wasted.Not just this season, in previous seasons, we go through different blips and certain people can write off Man United.But weve shown that togetherness and that fighting spirit, especially since Oles come in. I think were ready to go for the last few weeks of the season to make sure this second-half of the season was a success and its not just a good middle.Solskjaer turned United’s fortunes around this season3
