Solskjaer is still undefeated at home in the Premier League
United have now lost 3 of their last 5 games in the Premier League. It is a run that has spoilt Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's perfect start to life as the United manager. The United Manager lit up the Premier League since taking charge and has been in blistering form until recently. Solskjaer has so far managed to accumulate 12 wins and 2 draws from his 17 games in charge in the Premier League, yet it is the defeats that have gathered much attention.

But what people tend to forget is that all those losses came away from home. At home in the Premier League, United have been magnificent and undefeated under Solskjaer, with only Liverpool and Burnley managing to leave Old Trafford with a point. This is where the last 4 games in hand get a very interesting angle.
Three of United's last four games are at Old Trafford. These are against Manchester City, Chelsea and Cardiff City. The only game away from Old Trafford is against Huddersfield Town at John Smith's Stadium. As such, United have an unusual advantage going into the final few weeks and it might be the biggest reason why United can still manage a top 4 finish.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
