Arsenal v Manchester United - FA Cup Fourth Round

With Solskjaer's arrival, the Manchester United brand of football is back. Old Trafford is buzzing as waves of attacks have ripped the opposition defences apart. United under Solskjaer has now scored 22 goals in 8 games and have also scored 5 goals in a game for the first time in 5 years!

While United's defence has taken the blame for the majority of the season, the Norwegian has managed to be compact at the back, while also emphasizing on the benefits of using attack as the first form of defence. As such, there have been just 5 goals conceded under his tenure so far. But it is the entertainment factor that has created an aura of the old yet again.

Players are no longer reluctant to try the spectacular, midfielders bomb forward and there have been an increase in the long-range efforts on goal. That has been mixed well with intricate passing, eye-catching skills and scintillating counter attacks. Solskjaer has Manchester United displaying the attractive brand of football that has been associated with the reign of Sir Alex Ferguson and this is perhaps the biggest reason why the Norwegian is the perfect man for the permanent job.
