Man Utd: Solskjaer ‘got his tactics right’ claims pundit
Manchester United chiefs are delighted with the way Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has steered his side to victories over AZ Alkmaar, Manchester City and Tottenham over the past nine days. And that, it seems, will be enough for the Norwegian to stay at Old Trafford.
It was just over a week ago where Solskjaer appeared back under pressure at Manchester United, having failed to beat the likes of Sheffield United, Astana and Aston Villa.
But, in the last nine days, the Red Devils have picked up vital victories over AZ Alkmaar, Manchester City and Tottenham.
More than the results, is the performances. United deserved to win on each occasion, outplaying their opponents and suggesting their season, despite it’s difficulties so far, may not end in tears after all.
And The Sun say United chiefs are delighted with Solskjaer and the way the team are playing of late.
Goals have been, for the most part this campaign, in short supply.
But United have rediscovered their ruthless touch and, on Thursday night, put four past a hapless Alkmaar side.

Meanwhile, speaking on Thursday night, Solskjaer expressed his delight with his side’s performance against Alkmaar.
“It was vital for us,” the Red Devils boss said.
