		</div><p>Claudio Ranieri believes Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer “deserves” to be appointed Manchester United’s permanent manager.</p>
<p>The Norwegian has excelled since succeeding Jose Mourinho on a caretaker basis, overseeing nine victories from 10 matches, and remaining undefeated to transform the club’s season.</p>
<p>Saturday’s fixture at Craven Cottage represents the start of a period that is expected to influence whether Solksjaer remains at Old Trafford — in the coming weeks they also face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, Chelsea and Liverpool.</p>
<p>Ranieri, who arrived at the London club a month before Solskjaer returned to Manchester but who has struggled to have anything close to the same positive effect as the 45-year-old, said: <em>“At the moment he deserves it. He’s shown all the players are with him.</em></p>
<p><em>“Manchester United’s mentality has changed. Why not?</em></p>
<p><em>“I remember him as a player, against Chelsea. He was a fantastic player. His career’s open, and I wish him all the best.”</em></p>
<p>Ranieri, however, feels that “sooner or later (United) have to lose”, adding: <em>“Why not against us?”</em></p>
<p>The Italian said:<em> “We must be positive and we have to fight. If we don’t fight and lose, you lose before you play.</em></p>
<p><em>“If the opponent is better, well done to them. I want to see my players fight until the end. My fans will be happy seeing the players fight for every ball.”</em></p>
<p>Saturday’s fixture could also reunite Ranieri with Anthony Martial. As Monaco manager, he engineered his arrival at the Ligue 1 club for a remarkably low fee two years before his departure for what could eventually cost United £58million.</p>
<p><em>“I signed him for £5million, it was good business,”</em> said the 67-year-old. <em>“He was fantastic. I watched him during the Under-21s match against Monaco and was impressed.</em></p>
<p><em>“When the chance came to buy, I said ‘Take this guy because for me he could have a good future’. He came to Manchester and well done to him.</em></p>
<p><em>“He’s very good; can dribble; strong; fast. There are so many good players, (Paul) Pogba, (Marcus) Rashford; so many. We must be concentrated and strong, positive to show our personality during the game.”</em></p>
