According to The Daily Mail, Murphy said that it is good for the game that Manchester United are once again back in a title race in the Premier League.
Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, United have only finished in the top two once, and have never really been involved in a title race since then.
The arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and more importantly Bruno Fernandes, has turned United around in the last year or so. They finished third in the Premier League last season and are second in the table right now, behind Liverpool only on goal difference.
Murphy was full of praise for the job that Solskjaer has done at Manchester United since taking over from Jose Mourinho in December 2018.
Danny Murphy says Liverpool and Manchester City are still stronger than Manchester United
The former Liverpool midfielder, even though effusive in his praise for Solskjaer, said that he doesn’t think Manchester United would eventually win the title.
Having said that, Murphy also stated that he wouldn’t be unhappy to see Solskjaer win the league with United. Murphy believes that the Norwegian has a similar personality to Jurgen Klopp.
