Solskjaer makes Man Utd Champions League comeback kings again vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s name is inseparable from Manchester United’s history of late drama in the Champions League and his latest astonishing feat against Paris Saint-Germain will surely secure him the permanent manager’s job at Old Trafford.No team in the history of the European Cup had gone through after losing the first leg 2-0 at home.
“There was pressure on the boy but there were no nerves whatsoever. Fearless,” said Solskjaer of his prodigy.In the whirlwind three months since the Norwegian was drafted in after Jose Mourinho’s sacking to oversee the Red Devils until the end of the season, it is easy to forget that this is not what Manchester United have done in the six years since Solskjaer’s mentor, Alex Ferguson, retired.
Instead, given the circumstances, with so many key players missing, the rookie manager showed an adaptability and tactical acumen that proved he is more than just a cheerleader. As well as Rashford, another academy graduate, Scott McTominay, 22, starred in midfield, while three teenagers, Diogo Dalot, Tahith Chong and Mason Greenwood, were summoned from the bench in search of the goal to win the tie.
Solskjaer’s record is now 14 wins from 17 matches in charge with his solitary defeat in the first leg of this tie now long forgotten.
