#3 Solskjaer's impact among the players
It is crucial for a manager at big clubs, to not only be a good tactician but also a great man-manager and motivator. Sir Alex may not have been a tactician at par with the absolute best managers in the world, although he was close, but his man management skills were second to none. To this day, his players speak glowingly of him and his ability to get the best out of them was the reason Manchester United were the dominant force under him for so long. It was no surprise that once he retired, the same squad proved unplayable by the managers who came after him.
Solskjaer like his mentor, has proven himself to be a fantastic man manager and the level of uptick in performances from the big names at the club has been nothing short of miraculous. Paul Pogba, Victor Lindelof, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford are some of the players who have shown remarkable returns to form under him and more importantly each one of them has credited the manager for the improvements.
