OPINION
At every other club there would really be no doubt about who would get the manager’s job next season. Solskjaer has completely transformed the side since taking over from Jose Mourinho. He hasn’t lost a Premier League game yet and drawn just one against Burnley. The only blot on his record was PSG in the Champions League and losing to them is no shame. However, United are a huge club and there will be worry about giving the role to Solskjaer, no matter how well he does this season. We would love him to get the job. Sometimes you have to look for the right man at the right time rather than looking to shoehorn a big name in and hoping for the best. If Man United can’t get Pochettino from Tottenham, then who better than Solskjaer? A win against Liverpool on Sunday would surely make him very hard to resist, even for the biggest cynics at Old Trafford. And what a game we’ve got to look forward to. The game on Sunday could be an absolute classic, with both sides looking irresistible in attack. What odds a dour 0-0 then?
