Despite Solskjaer insisting he will not be at the club past the end of the season, he did reveal discussions have been held regarding United’s plans beyond that date.He added: “As far as you need to look at pre-season weve looked into and you look at players, hopefully the ones will sign will stay for many many years so depends how you look at that.”Solskjaer did hint at his desire to be offered the job, however.“I love managing these boys,” he added, “I love working here and as I said so many times Im just doing the best I can every single day. If and when it comes for a decision to be made weve got to think about that.”Solskjaer has been looking ahead to summer signings and pre-season plans, but his main focus now is Sunday’s trip to Arsenal.2

Solskjaer hopes to continue his unbeaten domestic record on Sunday

Still unbeaten domestically, United head to the Emirates Stadium – a ground where they beat the Gunners 3-1 in the FA Cup in January – with their absentee list easing.Paul Pogba is available after serving a European suspension in Paris, Anthony Martial has recovered from a groin injury, while Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic are pushing for a return.“Eric (Bailly) is fine,” Solskjaer said of a defender he substituted after 36 minutes in Paris.“Anthony will be available and hopefully we’ll have Nemanja and/or Ander ready as well.“We’re looking better for it. They just need to have another couple of days training with the team. They’ve done well with their recovery work.”
