Solskjaer is Manchester United's best bet driving forwards
Mourinho's reign at Manchester United was filled with boring, one-dimensional football where the emphasis was put on securing the back and being cautious in attack.

It was the same philosophy that had been employed by his predecessor Louis van Gaal and for almost 5 years, Old Trafford has been yearning for some fluid attacking football. This is where Solskjaer's playing style might suit United right now.
The Norwegian is a totally different person from the one who had taken charge at Cardiff City and he has learnt from his experience well. Molde FK played a fabulous season under his guidance, finishing second in the league this season.

Solskjaer's team played with speed, precision and flair and had it not been for a lean patch in the summer, Molde would have finished top of the table. Interestingly, his team scored the most goals in the league! It is this style of play that he will look to implement at Old Trafford now and it will greatly benefit the players at his disposal.
Manchester United has a team beaming with attacking talent and it is only fair that the team should play to its strengths. As such, one can hope that Solskjaer's preferred tactics will be the first step forward to reviving Manchester United's season.

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.
