Which occurs astonishingly often miracles, when Ole Gunnar Solskjær is present in the red part of Manchester.

on Wednesday evening it happened, as you know, again, as The Red Devils came from behind and against all the odds, played out further in the club tournament of them all.

Paris Saint-Germain top the owner, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, had to once again see his hobby-project fail in a ottendedelsfinale, while the visiting englishmen could celebrate that Solkskjærs promise to bring ’the old virtues’ back to the club, seems to be fulfilled.

Both players and legends standing after the fight in the queue to join in the celebration and to pay homage to the warm Norwegian. In the locker room, there was a distinguished visitor, when Sir Alex Ferguson, as Solskjær still consistently refers to as ’the boss’ showed up together with none other than Eric Cantona.

the main character even was, naturally enough, excited for both the outcome and the mood after the fight.

– It is a great night. The thing here is Manchester United’s soul.

– great to see ’the Boss’ in the dressing room after the fight, and the boys were simply just amazing.

– Just to see the whole club together. The owners, former managers, old players, great atmosphere, said Solskjær, according to the Dailymail.

the Norwegian would not say if he had spoken of the future with Ferguson. But the two men are both happy for that storklubben now is back on track, he does not hide.

– of Course he is also happy and proud. What we have shown tonight, is the way we do it at Manchester United, said Solskjær.

the Emotions sad also solved with Cantona, that taciturn but happy gave expression to his enthusiasm.

Romelu Lukaku was with two scores, one of the main reasons why United must now play quarter-finals in the Champions League. And after the match, the big belgian is not in doubt, where ‘The Baby-Faced Assassin’ is located, when the next season kick-start.

– I am sure that he will be here, no doubt about it. He wants to be and players want, that he becomes. We do it really well, we play like Manchester United should play, he said to Viasport.

To have a former striker as a coach is not something that bothers two-målsskytten, in the same token, told, that Solskjær has worked hard to get him in top form the past month.

– He wanted, that I had to use a three-four weeks to get really sharp. I have made much range – and afslutningstræning in the period, and now I’m in top condition.

– But if you look at the team, he has got us to play offensive football. He gives the young players confidence. Sometimes he is tough, but he also knows when the time is right to give a compliment, say, Lukaku, according to Viasport.

Solskjærs old team-mate John O’shea, came also with words of praise, and feel equally sure that the job at Old Trafford is as good as occupied.

– He will become the next manager of United. Whether it be right now or for the summer, so he becomes the next manager.

– He writes himself into the history books again. My guess is that he has signed the contract, when the plane lands in Manchester, said O’shea to Sky Sport after the match.
