Man Utd news: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has won more Premier League matches than Jose Mourinho this season

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has recorded more victories in two months at Manchester United than Jose Mourinho this season.

Saturday's 3-0 win at Fulham saw the Norwegian record win its eighth victory in nine high-flying games, eclipsing the seven-game winning streak of the Portuguese coach .

At 45, it took only two months to break his predecessor's record for this season.

Two goals from Paul Pogba and one from Anthony Martial allowed the Red Devils to win a comfortable victory and maintain their position to rank among the top four in the league.

Still undefeated since Solskjaer took office after Mourinho was sacked in December, the win at Craven Cottage put United in fourth on the board and one point ahead of Chelsea, who will face Manchester City on Sunday.

Solskjaer was named to the top until the end of the season, but managed to bring back the likes of Pogba, Martial and Marcus Rashford to the top of their game.

The double of Pogba leads him to four goals after his last four Premier League matches, while Martial now has three goals and two badists in Solskjaer.

The rebound under Solskjaer prompted him to talk about his permanent takeover, and he feels he has done all that was asked of him when he took office.

"It is not my case," he said. "Of course, Manchester United is where you need to be, everyone wants to be here and would like a lot.

"But my job description was, until the summer, that we play in a certain way, that we regain our mood, that we get results – of course, I love it every minute and I take what will follow. "

"It's not just about making smiles on faces, but it's a big part of that, to make sure you come to workout impatiently the next day and that you like what you do, that's what we're trying to do for the moment. "
