It is only fitting that a man who was well accustomed to the ways of Manchester United is now managing the club, steering the team out of dire straits. The Norwegian's understanding of the club's roots makes him the ideal manager for United right now.

He realizes the club's tradition of promoting youth, blending in youngsters along with the few experienced players at his disposal right from the start. Against Huddersfield, he even brought young Angel Gomes off the bench for a runout, a practice that is steeped in United's history.
He has openly stated that he intends to give chances to the youngsters from the youth set-up who are knocking at the door, few of whom interested Jose Mourinho.
Another important attribute of the Norwegian has been his preference for wing play. While Manchester United are not blessed with marauding wingers, Solskjaer has made brilliant use of the fullbacks so far and the whole team has relished the flow through the sides.
