The Norwegian tactician has done some fine work with Man Utd, turning them into genuine Premier League title contenders this season, but they have struggled to go all the way in recent cup competitions.

Fans will just have to hope Solskjaer can do a little better to help MUFC go all the way in the title race as there looks to be a real opportunity to challenge in this year’s extremely open race.
