Man Utd news: Pundit singles out the most important game for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
MANCHESTER UNITED interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should not be judged until the visit to Tottenham next weekend.
That is the opinion of BT Sport pundit and former Chelsea midfielder Steve Sidwell.
Solskjaer won his first four games in charge of Manchester United ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup third round clash at home to Reading.

The Norwegian has improved the style of football at United in many people’s eyes since the sacking of Jose Mourinho in December.
However, some believe Solskjaer has had a relatively comfortable run of games to start his reign.
That’s where he’s going to be judged
Victories against Cardiff and Huddersfield were followed by wins over Bournemouth and Newcastle.
All four of those teams currently sit in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
United remain sixth but have closed the gap on fourth-placed chelsea to six points.
They face Tottenham at Wembley next Sunday, with Mauricio Pochettino’s side still harbouring hopes of winning the title.
Sidwell says that is where Solskjaer will be judged despite his fine start at the club.
“That’s where he’s going to be judged,” Sidwell said.
“People have said he has had an easy ride so far.
“Listen, he’s still got to put the team out to go out and win.
“But it’s the way that they’ve won, the style that they’ve won.
“Obviously they come up against a Reading team today and then Spurs.
"Then they’ve got two home games, Brighton and then Burnley.
“So keep that momentum going and who knows what could happen going into that PSG game in the Champions League.”
