The fans of any club are the club's biggest asset. But it is rarely easy for new managers to win them over; it takes time for them to win the fans' support. Until they manage that, every little action invites tremendous scrutiny - especially now, in the age of social media.

Being a Manchester United legend, Solskjaer has the undying adulation of the fans, especially for his contributions in the treble winning season of 1998. This cult following provides him with a buffer from the fans' anger, especially if a few results go awry.

This reduces the pressure on him to make popular decisions; Solskjaer can focus more on the needs of the club rather than the demands of the fans.

Moreover, with Solskjaer at the helm, the club management can focus on the long-term instead of immediate results, as it is virtually impossible for a Manchester United fan to stay upset with the baby-faced assassin.

5. Ferguson understudy

Sir Alex Ferguson is the gold standard when it comes to managing a modern day club. Having spent a major portion of his playing career under Ferguson, Solskjaer actively picked up coaching and managing skills from the legend. Solskjaer was a student of the game under Ferguson.

According to team-mate Ryan Giggs, Solskjaer would take notes in the dressing room when he was injured. "He's gradually got more experience and when he had that injury and time out he used to take notes of things Sir Alex [Ferguson] would do, so I believed he would do a good job and go in to coaching," Giggs told the media

Everything we've seen ever since he took charge as interim manager, reminds us of the Fergie way. What more could anyone ask for?
