Mourinho's reign at Manchester United was filled with boring, one-dimensional football where the emphasis was put on securing the back and being cautious in attack.

It was the same philosophy that had been employed by his predecessor Louis van Gaal and for almost 5 years, Old Trafford has been yearning for some fluid attacking football. This is where Solskjaer's playing style might suit United right now.

The Norwegian is a totally different person from the one who had taken charge at Cardiff City and he has learnt from his experience well. Molde FK played a fabulous season under his guidance, finishing second in the league this season.

Solskjaer's team played with speed, precision and flair and had it not been for a lean patch in the summer, Molde would have finished top of the table. Interestingly, his team scored the most goals in the league! It is this style of play that he will look to implement at Old Trafford now and it will greatly benefit the players at his disposal.

Manchester United has a team beaming with attacking talent and it is only fair that the team should play to its strengths. As such, one can hope that Solskjaer's preferred tactics will be the first step forward to reviving Manchester United's season.
