Solskjaer has given his creative players licence to attack, with Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford let off the leash to devastating effect.
The Norwegian was rewarded with a three-year deal after dramatically reviving United's fortunes since taking caretaker charge in December, lifting them back into contention for a top-four place and transforming the mood at the club.
The highlight of his reign so far was a dramatic 3-1 away victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 in the Uefa Champions League, which enabled United to overturn a 2-0 first-leg defeat to reach the quarter-finals on away goals. But some of the gloss has come off in recent weeks, with three defeats in four matches badly denting United's chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League and dumping them out of the FA Cup.
Solskjaer, who famously scored the winning goal for United against Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final in Barcelona, was upbeat after drawing the Spanish league leaders in the quarter-finals last month, before he was confirmed as the new long-term boss.
