The next six Manchester United games could prove how good Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is

This is a record start for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United manager, after winning his first seven games.

The Norwegian has not only won, but has also changed the mood of the entire club and rejuvenated the form of key players such as Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba.

It was a remarkable change of fate for United, closer to the relegation zone than leaders of the Liverpool league when Jose Mourinho was sacked in December.

United is still sixth in the league but now has only three points in the top four. Qualification in the Champions League is now a possibility, which seemed unlikely just a month ago.

If United wants to continue its recovery, the next six games will be vital, as the Reds play mbadive matches in three competitions. A real test for the talent of the manager Solskjaer.

Arsenal – Away – 4th round of the FA Cup – Fri 25/1 – 19h55

The first acid test of Solskjaer at the head of United was against Tottenham Hotspur and the next will be the compatriot North Londoners Arsenal, of the 4th round of the FA Cup.

United advanced after a 2-0 win over Reading, but will face much stronger opposition alongside Unai Emery.

Arsenal started life without Arsene Wenger in great form, undefeated for 22 games in all competitions, but he began to slip back after being beaten 5-1 by Liverpool and sinking 1-0 against West Ham.

However, they were impressive in the 2-0 win over Chelsea. Maurizio Sarri's men were unable to cope with the aggressive pressure of Arsenal.

Alexandre Lacazette scored an excellent goal to open the scoring and his partnership with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could cause problems for United. Despite improvements at the other end of the field under Solskjaer, United remains suspect in defense and the attacking duo could reveal it.

Arsenal will be deprived of Hector Bellerin, who left the field on a stretcher facing Chelsea after suffering a knee injury. Rob Holding and Old Trafford former favorite Danny Welbeck remain long-time absentees, and another Red veteran Henrikh Mkhitaryan is in a race to prepare for the game.

With the FA Cup being the most realistic opportunity to win a trophy this season, the case should be hotly contested.

Burnley – Home – Premier League – Tuesday, 29/1 – 20h

United will be back in action in the Premier League next Tuesday against Burnley, a relegation fighter.

The Clarets team could be rebadured if they change players in their own match of the German Cup against Manchester City, but with a relegation score against Southampton the following Saturday, it is difficult to see Burnley give priority to United's clash.

Sean Dyche's team is currently tied for points with Southampton, making it a huge game at the bottom of the table.

Burnley has an appalling record against the top six teams of the season without winning and conceding 18 goals. They are not the resolute defensive unit that they were last season and the United attack that just reborn should find a lot of joy against them.

Leicester City – Away – Premier League – Sun, 3/2 – 14:05

Foxes have a very strange season. Despite his ninth place and his wins over Chelsea and Manchester City in December, manager Claude Puel is under serious pressure.

Indeed, since these two big wins, Leicester has lost games against Cardiff City, Southampton and Wolves. They are also awful in terms of defense and tend to play football without thrills.

Yet, whenever Puel faces growing criticism, he always responds with a shocking victory and United should be wary of it.

Leicester has plenty of offensive talent with Jamie Vardy, James Maddison and the young Harvey Barnes, who have already made a positive impact after returning from West Brom loan.

However, continuing to advance their right-back, Leicester often leaves huge holes in the back that groups like Martial and Rashford could exploit with joy.

Puel will be without Daniel Amartey and the former goal of United, Harry Maguire, who is injured against the Wolves.

With defenses less solid than both sides, United could be careful not to lose.

Fulham – Away – Premier League – Sat 9/2 – 12h30

The following week, United hopes to have a much more friendly match against Fulham, in trouble.

The Cottagers are second round, seven points safety, and are doomed to relegation after suffering two devastating defeats in a row. They lost to Burnley after scoring two goals and came across a winner of the last second of Harry Winks against Tottenham.

Claudio Ranieri improved somewhat Fulham, especially on the defensive side, and they seemed to be up against the Spurs thanks to the arrival of former Liverpool winger Ryan Babel, but it is probably too little later.

Fulham will be without central defender Alfie Mawson with a knee injury.

The last victory of Jose Mourinho at the head of United was an unusual behavior of Fulham (4-1) and if his team could do it, while Solskjaer surely can?

PSG – Home – Champions League, first leg of the last 16 games – Tuesday, 12/2 – 20h

The Champions League will be back in mid-February and United will face a difficult qualifying task for the next round, namely Paris Saint Germain.

The champions of France already have 13 points ahead in Ligue 1, with two games to play, and will focus on the conquest of the trophy of the Champions League.

PSG have an obvious attack power with Neymar, Edinson Cavani and World Cup star Kylian Mbape, who would scare off any defense, but they have a reputation as amazing in the round of 16 the Champions League.

At the same stadium last year, they were beaten 5-2 overall by the future Real Madrid champion. In 2017, they gave up a 4-1 lead and were eliminated against Barcelona. In 2015, they lost again against Barca, this time to 5-1. two legs.

PSG is also light in the midfield even with a team fully available but Thomas Tuchel has blocked Adrien Rabiot, Lbadana Diarra is injured and Marco Verratti is uncertain after being twisted ankle in the 9-0 win over Guingamp. The same goes for the back side, Marquinhos.

It certainly sounds like a tough job for United, but with their new spirits of attack, there is no reason for them to be afraid of PSG.

Liverpool – Home – Premier League – Sunday, 24/2 – 14:05

The big games do not stop and after having played against PSG, the next match will be Liverpool.

Defeat in Liverpool in December marks the end of Mourinho's tenure as manager at Old Trafford and the reverse match will be a good landmark to see how well United went under Solskjaer.

The United States lost 3-1 to Liverpool as they dominated the match with 36 shots against six, including only two.

Now, Solskjaer addresses teams and United plays a much more aggressive football. The match should be at least a little more, even this time.

Mohamed Salah's three strikers, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane, not to mention Xherdan Shaqiri, may be hard to contain, but Liverpool has a growing list of injuries.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Georginio Wijnaldum and Dejan Lovren are all absent alongside the long-term absentees Joe Gomez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The growing list of victims will put Liverpool to the test.

With the prospect of derailing the title hopes of his rival, Liverpool, United will undoubtedly be well prepared for this.
