JAKARTA - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to see Manchester United live the rest of the season unbeaten.

United are on a 14-game unbeaten run as they chase the top four of the Premier League and stay alive in the Europa League and FA Cup.

Solskjaer's men, who are sixth in the Premier League, will face Chelsea in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. They are also on course to reach the last eight of the Europa League.

To that end, the United manager challenged his team to live the remaining season unbeaten.

"Every Manchester United team has to go to any game against whoever believes they can win that game," Solskjaer told British media at a news conference.

"The short answer (if they are unbeaten) is yes, but the long answer is that there is more to it than that. Of course, different things can play a role in this competition, but we hope to extend the streak without losing and want it to be as long as possible.

"We know there are games every two or three days. We need a squad, everyone needs to play a role and we are happy with the current situation."

Sitting five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, United's bid for the Premier League last four continues this Tuesday when they visit Brighton and Hove Albion.

United's great achievement has been driven by the brilliant action of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford who have each scored 14 league goals this season. In addition, Mason Greenwood also improved with his five goals score.

Solskjaer wants greater depth at Old Trafford, saying: "You need competition to get a place at Man United.

"If you think you have the privilege of playing every game and doing really well so we won't be looking for a player to replace you, you are in the wrong place."
