Solskjaer’s position at the club has come under scrutiny since he was given the job on a permanent basis 13 months ago.
Mixed results led for calls from some for the Norwegian to be sacked. However, the message from the board has always been that the Treble winner would be given the time and resources needed to complete the rebuild he has started.
Before the outbreak of Covid-19 forced the suspension of football and the summer transfer window, Solskjaer was preparing to bring in at least three signings, with funds being sanctioned for some big-money moves.
Despite warning it will not be “business as usual” when the transfer window does finally open, Woodward is confident the club can continue to give Solskjaer the backing he needs.
“It’s always a top priority for us to strengthen the team and build on what Ole is very clearly achieving in terms of bringing us back to the top,” Woodward said in response to a fan’s question about how competitive United plan to be in the transfer window at the Fans’ Forum meeting.
“I would say that once we have that visibility of a path through the crisis and coming out of the other side to relative normality, then, of course, we aim to remain highly competitive in the market.
“As I said before and I’ve said this many times, we remain committed to backing Ole to win trophies. That’s our core objective as a club.”
