The Red Devils went into the weekend in the fifth spot with only a point separating them and Arsenal. However, as the games transpired on Saturday, they found themselves on the right end of a one-point advantage over the Gunners.

It wasn’t all plain sailing for Manchester United though. They went a goal down to Southampton and the Saints admirably kept the Red Devils at bay in the first half.

But in the second period, the hosts turned the screw and emerged victorious courtesy goals from Andreas Pereira and Romelu Lukaku.

So far, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has lost a solitary game with the match against Paris Saint Germain being the only anomaly. Yet, in the nine league games to follow, the Red Devils are hardly going to face opposition of the calibre of PSG. (bar Man City)

Thus, the signs are promising and Manchester United appear to be front runners for the fourth spot.

Back in December, the Manchester skies looked grey with Jose Mourinho in charge. Yet, the introduction of a certain Norwegian has enabled the sun to shine brighter than ever this term.

At the moment, Manchester United is churning out results and seems to find new heroes every week. And unsurprisingly, the Solskjaer juggernaut has rolled on.
