#3 Managing the players when it gets tough

In his pre match conference, Ole said his main role at United would be to make his players feel comfortable and enjoy their football. Right now this might sound all ‘rosy and optimistic’, but come the time when a couple of defeats knock on his doors, it remains to be seen how the Norwegian would respond in those testing times.

He has already said that he has got a hairdryer of his own (referring to Sir Alex's shouting spree). Perhaps managing the likes of Pogba and Sanchez who recently led the mutiny against Jose for his tough-love attitude remains one of the biggest challenges of his tenure.

Either way, the Argentinian’s man management skills reign among the world's best, and this is the precise reason why the top teams have not been able to cherry pick the top talents from White Hart Lane this time around.

To conclude, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer might be a very good manager (although he still has a lot to prove in the Premier League, especially against the big boys) but the Argentinean continues to live in a class of his own, and by all means would be an upgrade on the current manager.
