He may only be the interim manager at Manchester United but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is already talking about the future of the club beyond his proposed tenure.
The former United striker has enjoyed a remarkable run since taking over from Jose Mourinho in December, strengthening his own claims to be appointed on a permanent basis.
Tomorrow, United are at Fulham in the lunchtime kick-off and in his press conference today, Solskjaer talked about his long-term vision for the club.
He said: "Decisions sometimes of players' futures are not down to me either it's the players, do they want to stay, move on but we have a vision and picture of how we want to look in a few years.
"We have to think long term and also short term and I've got a picture of what this United team should look in a couple of years but I put my views to Ed Woodward and the club."
The Norwegian said that as a United fan, the club's best interests are his top priority.
"I've supported and followed United for many many years and I did have a clear view on what I thought my opinion would be, you get a different view on players but we're not too far away from when I came."
Solskjaer was asked if he thought United would be able to mount a title challenge next season, even though his own future's unclear.
"I hope so," he said. "That they believe they can do that because you cannot outperform your ego, that's one of those mantles you have to trust and believe in yourself. You've got to believe in yourself if you want to be a champion and win, it's how you prepare for every single game, how we demand that we focus on every single day in training, every single game."
