5 ways how Solskjaer convinced Manchester United to give him the full-time job

#2 Positive Approach towards games

Paris Saint-Germain v Manchester United - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg

"Mountains are there to be climbed"

This one quote generated a lot of hype at the end of the home defeat at the hands of PSG in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie. It was met with taunts and jeers from the opposition fans, many of whom mocked United and Solskjaer. A fortnight later, every single one of them had to eat their words, as the Norwegian turn around the deficit in style. It was a testament of the strength of character of the man and it had rubbed into his players too.

The Norwegian has always maintained a positive approach towards the games, and there is a never say die attitude about him that is contagious. It has been inspirational to the club and its players, helping them attain the impossible at times. The United Management definitely want this approach to continue and as such, have rightly appointed him as the permanent manager.
