5 ways how Solskjaer convinced Manchester United to give him the full-time job

#1 Performance as the Caretaker Manager

Paris Saint-Germain v Manchester United - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg

When Manchester United appointed Solskjaer as their Caretaker manager in December 2018, they were in deep waters. The club had already lost 5 and drawn 5 of their first 17 games in the league. Those included humiliating 3-1 defeats at the hands of both City and Liverpool. They had also exited the League Cup in the third round itself and the Club was dangerously sliding down the table.

The Norwegian steadied the ship, and got his superstars firing again on the field. United went on a record-setting 8 run unbeaten streak in all competitions under him and the mood at Old Trafford was suddenly sunny again. Solskjaer won 14 of his first 19 games in charge and drawing 2. His only defeats were at the hands of PSG in the Champions League, Arsenal in the Premier League and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the F. A. Cup.

With Barcelona up ahead in the Quarter Finals of the UEFA Champions League and the fight for the 4th place in the league far from over, Solskjaer has his work cut out now. However, the Norwegian has been brilliant as the Caretaker Manager so far and his recent form finally convinced the United hierarchy to give him the full-time job.
