The Red Devils are emerging as genuine title contenders this season.
Rivals fans are starting to take note of Solskjaer’s planning and tenacity.
Following Tuesday’s 1-0 win against Wolves, a Guardian user ZeeZeeTopFulham wrote: “Manchester United don’t need to be Sir Alex Ferguson’s all-conquering titans to be a successful, competitive Premier League team – in fact, it would be generous to describe many of the title winning sides Ferguson led as titanic.

“It’s an often said line in football that a good team can play badly and win, and it’s often said because it’s true – but I don’t even believe Man United were particularly terrible today. Man United’s creative outlets provided test and challenge to Wolves and ensured they played the game at a slower pace.

“United kept the game alive throughout. Through their swift and decisive counter attacks, and numerous varied options – height, pace, technical prowess, pure power – they can rely on any angle or area on the pitch to produce a goal. The tenacity Solskjaer has brought to the side has revitalised the key drive to win.

“This has has become a staple over 2020 and taken the team to second in the table, something unthinkable last January. United are a threat again, and for all the jibes made about the club I don’t think you can really say they aren’t massively improved since Solskjaer took over. Ominous for their rivals!”
