Ole Gunnar Solskjær was appointed as the interim coach of Manchester United the 19. December. Three days later he stood on from the sidelines in his first game as manager for gamleklubben, and since then it has been like a fairy tale to expect.
We lost to a good team today, a much better team than few months ago. United is much more attacking now, and it looks like the players are having fun out there. For United fans is the skiing days, aibel games, but when it comes to us, we met them at the wrong time, said bournemouth’s Joshua King on TV 2s sportskanal after the 4-1 loss against the Norwegian Sunday.
An interesting points from Joshua King, who might have hoped that his Bournemouth met United when they still played under José ^ the academic degree awarded.
Solskjær has got Manchester United to play attacking football again, and in three games it scored twelve goals. Critics believe the resistance has been weak, and look forward to the real storkampene, as against Tottenham 13. January and PSG in the Champions League.
How big is the importance of Solskjær for the achievements which we now have seen? Dagbladet has asked the experts.
Impressed
Øyvind Alsaker, fotballkommentator in the CHANNELS 2 as follows the Premier League closely, believe Solskjær is the reason for the good performance.

He must get a large part of the credit, as managers often get the blame when things go wrong, too. He sits with the responsibility, and we see a distinct change. Solskjær has transformed made in the course of a few hectic juleuker.
– Are you impressed?
– Yes, I’m impressed. Of course one must mention that the opposition were absolutely mediocre, but that’s the way it just. He can’t do anything with the matches that are set up. You just have to win and what he has done in a compelling way. It is not only just to score as many goals in the Premier League. It is difficult.
Lars Tjærnås, fotballekspert in Aftenposten and Viasport, believe Solskjær is an important piece of the transformation we now hold on to see.
– They have played against three teams they should beat, and thus we can say that he has delivered “the same form”. But it is only half the truth. Manchester United were in desperate need of simple things like the joy and boldness, and had lost much of the identity. Seen this way, Ole Gunnar made everything right.
the Expert believes simply that the man from Preston was vital to save the club and players from the period they were in.
Expect criticism from the blokes: – Want to be hardcore against me
– He has been a kind of antidote against Mourinhos care and lack of mood. Now, those brave, offensive and plays on his own DNA. I think Solskjær will have a lot of credit for it. He has put together the team wisely balanced, been bold with kamplanene, got track of some important players, and then most of the Pogba, says Tjærnås.
Only a few can answer how bad it was at Old Trafford under José ^ the academic degree awarded. The question is whether any other manager would have had the same results as Solskjær is now.
It’s completely impossible to answer. I think that a change anyway would given a boost and injected energy into the players, but if someone else would get the same performance, I don’t know, ” says Alsaker and continues:
I think that Solskjærs history has little to say. He has respect among the players, the fans, the club and style of play. If it would have been a different manager, so he had perhaps added about the style of play, and it could have taken longer time before the achievements came. It is as said just speculation, but I think Solskjær is the reason that the team perform as they do.
– Solskjær is the great contrast to ^ the academic degree awarded Video Tough battle plan
If Solskjær must get the credit get people disagree about, but what is certain is that the next matches will be crucial, both for Solskjær and the club itself. The three easiest matches on the fixture is over with, and on the menu ahead are Newcastle, Reading and Tottenham. The really big matches are played 12. and 24. February. First the PSG, then Liverpool the week after.
– There is no doubt that it gets tough. 13. January against Tottenham is a straightforward scale, mean Alsaker and continues.
Schmeichel will be Solskjærs boss: – I’m not afraid
– the Team will be much better prepared for the tough battles that come when they win as they do. There is only one way to prepare for, and it is to be successful. Confidence is the absolute best preparation for the things to come.
– Solskjær has done everything right, he has created self-confidence, got the biggest profiles in the form, just look at Pogba. Sanchez and Lukaku are also on the way back. There are many good players on this team, he points out.
Lars Tjærnås choose to mention the match this coming Thursday. Solskjærs United face Newcastle away at St. James Park at. 21.
– Now comes the toughest test so far, but I think if they continue with the same tribe in the team, same strategy, so it will pay for itself, ” he concludes.
