Ole Gunnar Solskjaer throws the glove to start us, reveals the star of Man Utd

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer transformed the Manchester United season by challenging the players to prove that they were good enough to wear the jersey.

United has won all seven matches under his acting boss, Solskjaer, who succeeded Jose Mourinho after his dismissal just before Christmas.

Now, midfielder Ander Herrera has revealed the Norwegian's simple message to the players, which helped transform a season that had been upset when Mourinho opened the door.

United was 11 points from fourth and last place in the Champions League when the Special One left, but six consecutive victories in the Premier League have reduced the gap to three points.

And before the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday night at Arsenal, Herrera opened his doors against Solskjaer and explained how the former United striker had managed to get the best out of the team.

"Since the first day of his arrival, the message is very clear: it's Manchester United and you have to show that you are Manchester United players," Herrera said.

"He asked us to show that and we want the ball even in tough games. I think we did it.

"It is very good. Everyone is happy and he brought a lot of positivity to the team.

"He knows what Manchester United means and he wants players to know that too. We have seven wins in a row, so we can not ask for more, but we have to be careful because we're in the middle of the season and we have a lot of games to play. We have a busy schedule in February. "

Herrera, speaking to United Review, said the attacking players, especially Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba, flourish under the tutelage of former striker Reds Solskjaer and benefit from his experience.

"In total, our attacking players like to play near the opposing court," Herrera said.

"We create a lot of opportunities and we are the protagonist in every game – so we are very happy. But it's only seven games and we have to keep the balance, continue to win and do as we do.

"I think we're going to have tough times and tough games, so let's see how our team will react and how we will fight those circumstances."
