MANCHESTER, England – Manchester United's new permanent coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has set a goal of winning the Premier League trophy, while warning his players that they will be dispatched when they relax now.
Solskjaer was rewarded for his impressive stint as interim leader – 14 wins in 19 games – with a three-year contract to become Jose Mourinho's long-term successor.
And at a press conference on Thursday, the Norwegian admitted that the last United title, won in 2013, was too long, while cautioning his current team against complacency.

"Raising the Premier League trophy again is what we expect, which we are used to," said Solskjaer, who has won six titles as a United player.
"We can not wait too long, but we have to go step by step, it can not happen overnight.
"The players who are complacent are never last in this club.I am the same.I can not be complacent now that I have work.It is not me.We are impatient. "
"We have to work harder, I think players know my expectations for the future."
Just hours after his confirmation of his position, Solskjaer admitted that he had already had discussions with Executive Vice President Ed Woodward about players likely to succeed each other this summer.
The 46-year-old hopes to have his new team ready before the first match of the preparatory tour against Perth Glory, Australia, on July 13.
"There will be business this summer," he said.
"There have been so many players who have written about what we are interested in and players and agents have contacted our administrators who want to enter.
"I'm sure when we decide what we need to do, let 's hope we have them here pre – season, yes.
Despite Solskjaer's confirmation Thursday, his assistant, Mike Phelan, has nothing official about it.
The former number 2 Sir Alex Ferguson is still under contract with the Central Coast Mariners, but Solskjaer hopes he will also agree to extend his stay.
"Mick is a key part of the setup and they talk to each other," said Solskjaer.
"I have expressed my opinion and the structure that we have now, the staff with whom we have worked so well together and it is essential to be successful, to get results." I do not seek to bring change in this respect. "
