Under Mourinho, Manchester United hardly seemed to play youngsters in their lineup. And whenever he played one, he would always moan about not having first-team players for a match. This did nothing but lessened the confidence of the young lads breaking through the ranks at the Theater of Dreams as it is called.

Under Solskjaer, the Red Devils are showing just why they call Old Trafford, the Theater of Dreams. Tahith Chong, James Garner, Angel Gomes, and Mason Greenwood have already had their debuts for Manchester United and it's been 3 months only.

Manchester United has always been about giving youngsters a go. Sir Matt Busby started it, Sir Alex Ferguson continued the tradition with the Class of 1992. But nobody followed that. Sometimes Louis Van Gaal played them, but nobody has given them the confidence that the Norwegian is giving currently.

He brought on Chong and Greenwood against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc Des Princes in a big Champions League night. This would have given so much confidence to these youngsters and just think about the experience they would have had after that.
