Manchester United look on-course for a title challenge and nobody is more surprised than Paul Ince, who has admitted he never thought the Norwegian should have taken charge.
Solskjaer was on the ropes earlier this season after a disastrous start to 2020-21, with results such as the 6-1 hammering from Jose Mourinho's Spurs causing alarm.
A 10-game winning run and slip-ups from their rivals have seen United shoot back into the title race, looking among the strongest candidates less than three months on from their Old Trafford humiliation from Spurs.
After United's emergence Ince is expecting a tense title race, revealing he was unimpressed by United replacing Mourinho with the inexperienced Solskjaer back in March 2019.
