Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been a revelation since taking over from Jose Mourinho, who was axed after the embarrassing loss to Liverpool.

The Red Devils have won 10 of their last 11 games whilst playing some swift, expansive football that seems to garner the most out of talents available in the squad.

Almost every player looks better under Ole, especially Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford, who seem to be benefiting the most from the Portuguese's departure as they both are scoring and setting up goals for fun every time they get on the pitch.

Players like Lindelof, Lingard, Herrera, Martial, Lukaku have had a complete reinvention of their role, playing a completely different system, one that seems to be suited to their strengths, as all players look like part of a really dangerous and talented team, unlike under previous managers.

The team played free-flowing football, showed massive determination to go out there and win and didn't get too bothered by Fulham's brilliant start. Solksjaer backed players such as Lukaku and Mata and rested most of his first team stars ahead of the midweek fixture, which proved to be a tactical masterclass.

The battle in midfield too, was won by Herrera, Matic and Pogba - by an absolute mile.
