A nice guy and a safe pair of hands to repair the post-Mourinho wreckage, but with only Molde and relegation with Cardiff on his CV, not a realistic long-term appointment. In December 2018, Solskjaer was a left-field appointment as a caretaker manager. He was the Norwegian messiah, wasted at Molde. The media will often reflect that mood and after the comeback against a star-studded Paris Saint-Germain, Solskjaer could do no wrong. The smiles of everyone connected to Manchester United that night could have powered the National Grid for a year.īut then it's the job of supporters to get carried away and start dreaming. Four months after the raging fires of Jose Mourinho's end game, Solskjaer has already completed his brief of putting smiles back on faces. Inside the bowels of the stadium, Gary Neville begins an interview with former teammate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer by asking him how long he wants his contract to be, what salary he wants and where he'd like his statue.
Manchester United have just done the impossible and the scenes in the away end are so boisterous that Ashley Young comes back out from the dressing room to take a video of it. A rainy night in Paris in March 2019 and a small corner of an empty stadium is partying like its 1999.
