And that was it.

They played with freedom, joy and not least the huge portions with the effort. It looked as if they thought it was fun to be on the job again.
Very fun.
Midtstopperne plugged the well again backward. Midfielders worked their socks off. The attackers ran and ran – and not least: Superstjerna Paul Pogba, who was arguing and underpresterte under José ^ the academic degree awarded, so at times like a million.
So the big question is. What have Solskjær made with the players?
I said that the players should go out and enjoy the match and play the football like they can. There is a locker room full of quality. This is probably the best elleveren I have taken out ever. It is subtitled, I am with Fergie last night too, ” says Solskjær to TV 2.
On questions about what pleased him the most with tonight’s result, ” says Solskjær:
It was spillegleden, the desire to move forward in the path and to win back the ball. We are Manchester United. We scored two, we will have three. We have scored three, we will have four. That’s the way it should be.
Apart from an unnecessary backwards (penalty after questionable hands), was the debut album just the party all with red sympathies had hoped for. United fans singing through the Solskjær song after Solskjær-song, while the rødkledde on the pitch proved to be both one, two, three, and four numbers greater than the small Cardiff City.

The plays of course no role in the big picture. The rest of the ” managerkarriere in United’s history. No one can take from him is perhaps the greatest managerkarrieren ever.

another point that must not be overlooked. United scored five in a league match in the evening. They have not done since sir Alex ” the last battle as commander (5-5 against WBA).
