If Man United finish off Roma and go on to win the Europa League, it would back up Solskjaer's claim that he's the right man for the job

MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester United under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have been more evolution than revolution, and his team took another step forward at Old Trafford on Thursday night.

Following four straight semifinal defeats, United lead AS Roma 6-2 after the first leg of their Europa League last-four tie. Anything but a heavy defeat in the Italian capital in a week's time will earn the Norwegian a place in his first final since becoming manager. It will be another box ticked on his to-do list ahead of what he hopes will be a first trophy.
