"You are like a seized person, with a virus in a closed room – you transmit this virus to others," said José Mourinho earlier this month.
It would be a "miracle" if Manchester United finished in the top four this season, he told the Brazilian point of sale RedeTV.
These were the talks around Old Trafford two months ago. A finish in the top four seemed impossible with Chelsea (4th in the EPL chart at the time) with 11 points ahead of Manchester United (6th in the table).
February 2019
Enter Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and in less than 3 minutes, Manchester United was operational with a Rashford set. After an inexplicable period of two months, United now ranks 4th.
This was a stunning turnaround and an indication that Solskjaer should be given the permanent position. There are many reasons for this.
Culture – Solskjaer understands the culture of Man United since he's here as a player and as a coach. He brings this conviction that was missing since Sir Alex Ferguson. We are Man United. We believe that we can beat anyone.
Tactics – With Lingard and Martial unavailable in the FA Cup win in the fifth round against Chelsea, Solskjaer opted for a 4-4-2 diamond formation with Lukaku and Rashford in the lead. This proved decisive in the result and was only the last example of his sound tactical spirit.
Freedom – Solskjaer brought out the best players by playing them optimally. He made Rashford his first choice from the start, compared to Lukaku under Jose, and Rashford was a revelation. He also left Pogba free, who has already been involved in 15 goals in 12 games.
If we believe the information, Solskjaer should be given the permanent post. The decision will only be announced towards the end of the season, but the management would be well advised to stay with the Norwegian.
