While the resurgence has been commendable, the chances of United grabbing the Premier League or the Champions League look a very bleak.

United fell far behind under Mourinho's regime and it was their poor showing in the Premier League that led to his departure. Solskjaer has brought a fresh air at United, and the Old Trafford devotees are delighted to see their side back in the top 4.

United sit on the 4th position as of now, with 51 points in their kitty. The comeback is mighty impressive, but the difference is quite enormous between them and the table-toppers Liverpool, who've achieved 65 points in the same number of matches.

Premier League is a far sight and it seems the primary mission for Ole is to maintain United's position in the top 4. League cup is out of the equation as Manchester United were ousted by minnows Derby County on penalties.

With their recent loss to PSG at home, UCL too seems to be a distant feat.

FA Cup remains Solskjaer's only real hope of securing a silverware this season
