Manchester United still 'two years' from returning to the top of English football, says ex-Red Devils striker Cole

 The treble winner thinks Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still needs to add "two or three players" to his ranks to turn his former side back into an elite force

Manchester United are still two years away from returning to the top, according to Andrew Cole, who says his old club must rediscover their consistent streak.

United have slipped down English football's pecking order since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure in 2013, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer the latest man charged with trying to rediscover past glories.

David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho all failed to guide the Red Devils back to the promised land, and Solskjaer is now in danger of suffering a similar fate after a poor start to the 2020-21 season.
