Chelsea now have 47 points from 22 games and they have scored 40 goals and conceded just 17. United are currently on 41 points, 6 points behind them and have scored 44 goals and conceded 32. Just the fact that United have recently overtaken Sarri's team in terms of goals scored is a clear indication of how well Solskjaer has performed since taking over.
Maurizio Sarri had started the Premier League by going on a 12 match unbeaten run, a period where they scored 27 goals and won 8 games. However, Chelsea have since lost 3 games already and are no longer unbeatable. United came away from Stamford Bridge with a thrilling 2-2 draw under Mourinho, however, Solskjaer will be hoping he can get one over his old foes at home.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
