#1 Credibility in Big Matches

It is often said that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. It is matches like these which truly shape a manager’s career. Sir Alex relished the opportunity to square off against a big team. Fergie was never one to shy away from a tough opponent, and his philosophy and his confidence was portrayed by Manchester United on those tricky away nights in Europe.
What Solskjaer truly needs is to shape this United team into someone well capable of taking on the best there is to offer anywhere in the world. While Manchester United have had a tremendous start under Solskjaer, they haven't really faced a real world class unit apart from PSG, and we all know what happened there. This Chelsea side is filled with star performers and United's history against the Blues hasn't been really pleasant in the recent past.
The Red Devils have lost their last 4 FA cup ties to Chelsea, including the previous season's final at Wembley. Solskjaer needs his team to bounce back from the PSG defeat and beat Chelsea and go through the next round.
