CHRIS SUTTON: The job at Manchester United was supposed to be too big for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – but he’s handled all the unrest and proves he’s the right man for it
- Manchester United beat Liverpool 3-2 in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday
- Bruno Fernandes scored the winning goal from a free kick in the 78th minute
- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer managed to turn things around after tough times
Bruno Fernandes has learned he will not start against Liverpool. But the day before the game, he stayed behind after practice and practiced free kicks for 45 minutes. This is the definition of a determined player, one who wants to do his best for his boss.
What a job Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does.
Sometimes he took such a kick. Apparently the work was too big for the Norwegian.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer celebrates after his side won over Liverpool in the FA Cup
Apparently he was a physical education teacher out of his depth and posing as a Premier League manager. Some Manchester United supporters wanted him and Mauricio Pochettino to, pronto.
The pressure intensified when United were kicked out of the Champions League after being in a position of power in their squad.
But we have to give Solskjaer credit. He handled all of this turmoil, the talk that he got the safe and was replaced by Pochettino.
Solskjaer managed to turn things around and the Red Devils are now flying high
Now United are in the fifth round of the FA Cup, and Liverpool are not. United are top of the Premier League, and Liverpool are not.
A BBC 606 caller on Sunday night was given the choice between Solskjaer and Jurgen Klopp as manager. He told me he would choose the United boss! Sunday’s game was everything the league game a week before wasn’t.
Liverpool will be gutted, but I don’t think it’s a crisis. I see it more as a failure. They can still come back. They can still rally and keep their title. This is how they must be thinking now.
