"Attack, Attack, Attack"

The Old Trafford crowd, disappointed with Jose Mourinho's laid-back approach, had tried to inspire their manager with the rallying cry once. Unfortunately, Mourinho rarely responded in agreement.

For a manager who relied on defensive discipline to see out games and titles, it was perhaps too much to ask for. Sadly, the Old Trafford crowd and the millions of fans watching worldwide were used to United playing an attacking brand of football and never quite took to Mourinho's tactics.

As such, the delight of the United faithful when their club started playing attacking football again under the stewardship of Solskjaer was totally justified. United piled on the pressure on the opposition, showed innovation and spent most of the time in the opposition half in the first two games under the Norwegian.

They were relentless in attack, never slowing down until the very end, courtesy of tired legs. For a club bless with offensive firepower, these tactics unleashed the very best out of the team.

Since he was bred under the tactics of Sir Alex Ferguson, it is only fair that he would instil the same mentality in his players, a quality that makes Solskjaer an ideal fit at United.
