United not too far off success - Dyche

BURNLEY manager Sean Dyche has warned United there is no shortcut to sustained success, pointing out that Liverpool’s resurgence has taken place over several years.

The Reds are 30 points adrift of Jugen Klopp’s men and there has been some scrutiny of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s position.

Dyche accepts United’s history and financial might means they will continue to be competitive in the transfer market, and he thinks the Norwegian is not far away from establishing the Reds as a force to be reckoned with.

Dyche said: “Even with the badge and financial power, it does take time to remould things and get a unit that can be successful. With Liverpool, it’s taken them three, four, five years to get that to where it is now, it has taken time.

“Liverpool have managed to allow that period for that manager. Whether United allow that period for Ole, I don’t know.

“But it is interesting for me that even with all that power, even with everything that comes with United, it still takes time to form a real winning unit.

“I think they’re still a good side, they’ve got still some very good players. They’re in some form of transition. It’s taken a big transition from Sir Alex to where it is now and it continues to be that.

“It’s not an easy task, even at their level, even with their finances, even with their power to attract players. It’s not easy to find a way of rebalancing.

“I don’t think they’re a million miles away, personally, and Ole’s doing a good job of staying calm in that period, of finding the right players and mixtures to be successful.”
