The Red Devils were in fifth position in the Premier League when football was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.
An 11-game unbeaten run across all competitions saw United close the gap to fourth-placed Chelsea to just three points. Elsewhere, the Manchester outfit progressed to the latter stages of the Europa League and the FA Cup.
Solskjaer’s men resume their Premier League campaign with a huge clash against Tottenham on June 19.
And with the likes of Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford returning from injury, Scholes believes United have easy fixtures and are on course to secure a top-four spot.
Asked if he is confident of United’s chances of making the top-four, the ex-midfielder told MUTV: “Yes I am. I think if we didn’t have this break, I think we were certainties to get it. There’s just no knowing how we’ll come out of it.”
“I think we’ll be fine. We’ve got big players coming back into the team, which we didn’t have in Marcus and Paul coming back into the squad.”
“If they can come back, hit the ground running I think they’ve got every chance. It’d be great to get to an FA Cup final as well, although it’ll probably be a little bit strange with no fans there – but still, it’s a trophy and you’d like to win it.”
“You just have to wait and see but I think they’ve got a great chance. What is it, three points behind Chelsea? Our fixtures do look quite favorable.”
