4 targets Solskjaer must achieve to get the full-time job at Manchester United

#3 Reaching the semifinal of the Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain will be Solskjaer's acid test in the UEFA Champions League

To be considered for the permanent job, Solskjaer will have to convince the board that he can get his tactics right against the best in Europe. The Norwegian has the experience of playing at the highest level for United and as such, is well aware of the rigors of the Champions League. However, doing it as a manager will be an entirely different prospect. And his biggest hurdle arrives in his first tie of the tournament, against high flying PSG.

Stopping a team like PSG won't be easy, but in a two-legged tie, anything is possible, especially if Solskjaer can stitch together a run of games in the Premier league that binds his team together.

The Norwegian's preference to fight fire with fire might just come in handy against the French Champions. If he does get past PSG, Solskjaer will be hoping to reach as far as possible in the tournament.

However, a place in the semifinals will be fabulous for him and for Manchester United. Most importantly, it will bolster his chances to continue at the helm at Old Trafford beyond the summer.
