Manchester United are very much a team reborn, having parted ways with Jose Mourinho, replacing the Portuguese with former icon Ole Gunnar Solksjaer.

The Norwegian has brought a new lease of life, overseeing a total transformation in the outlook, bringing in a positive atmosphere, which has cast aside the gloom and doom associated with the 'Mou' era.

This new period has seemingly brought out the best of hitherto castigated players such as Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial among other, as the Red Devils have won six matches on the bounce, returning the exciting swashbuckling style which has been associated with United against the backdrop of dour pragmatic style which characterized Jose's tenure.

The Premier League match day 22 clash away to Tottenham at Wembley represented the biggest test of Solksjaer's United tenure till date, as with all due respect to his previous opponents, they are not exactly the kinds of opponents who are expected to give prime United a scare.

It was a test which The Red Devils passed with flying colors, as not only did they win the match, but they did so convincingly, with most of their players discharging their duties with flying colors with de Gea the pick of the bunch.

The Spanish shot-stopper was at his imperious best, repeatedly thwarting the likes of Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son and Toby Alderweireld to hand United the precious victory.

The 28-year-old made a total of 11 saves in the match which was the most managed by any keeper this Premier League season and helped United move level on points with Arsenal in the battle for a top four finish.
