#2 Positive spirit and composure

The Caretaker manager's very personality and presence seem to give very positive vibes to those around him and that is exactly what seems to have lifted the spirits at Old Trafford.

His composure and ability to keep extreme emotions in check are quite different from those of Sir Alex Ferguson.

But do not let these qualities of Solskjaer fool you with a thought that he is too much of a nice guy to last the extreme pressures at top-flight English football.

He has been in coaching for almost 10 years now. He has won leagues and cups with Molde in Norway. He has seen his team Cardiff City relegated in 2014. He has made a lot of mistakes already as a manager and learned from them.

Most of his contemporaries like Nicky Butt, who has been managing the reserves team now, Michael Carrick and Rio Ferdinand have mentioned that he has another side to his personality very capable of making OGS have his own 'hairdryer' treatment for the players if need be.

Undoubtedly, a must to keep his players in check given the flamboyant nature of football these days.

In short, he is not a newbie to the world of football management and has his own strengths to draw from but a couple of his biggest assets are the positive spirit he brings wherever he goes and his calm demeanor.
