The Norwegian has struggled in his previous premiership coaching post, but has flourished since returning to a familiar environment at Old Trafford
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he "was not ready for this fight" in Cardiff, but thinks his return to the Premier League is flourishing because he knows "the DNA and identity of Manchester United".
The Norwegian took office as coach in British football in January 2014, when he took over the troubled Bluebirds.
In September of the same year, however, he was dismissed, the relegation was started and a slow start in the championship.
Solskjaer has since rebuilt his reputation in Molde and was handed over to Old Trafford after the dismissal of Jose Mourinho.

Solskjaer said Sky sports Cardiff: "It was not the right thing to be right, but you live and learn."
He added that things had changed after taking the reins of United: "It's a completely different club and situation.
"I know the club's culture and identity, as well as its style of play. Manchester United, of course, suits me far more than a club that struggles to end up at the bottom of the table.
"I was not ready for this fight, I did not say I was not ready for the Premier League – it's different.
"My belief is to trust the players and convince them to play the right way, try to dominate the teams, try to win the games the right way, play as we do now with Manchester United.
"I should have turned that mentality into a different mindset in a team that fights relegation if you know what I mean."
Solskjaer helped push United back into the top four of the season as new challenges emerge between the Champions League and FA Cup.
"It's easier here because I know the DNA and identity of Manchester United and what a Manchester United player is," said the club's hero, winner of the Treble.
"It's a winning identity, it's a confident identity.
