‘Solskjaer has earned right to learn on the job’ – Man Utd boss backed by fellow 1999 Treble winner Cole

The Red Devils turned to a familiar face for inspiration after parting with Jose Mourinho in December 2018 and Solskjaer impressed in an initial interim post, earning a three-year contract along the way.

Questions were asked of his suitability to such a demanding role, given his lack of coaching experience at the highest level, but positive progress has been made.
