And Solksjaer has hailed Ferguson's huge influence on him as a player and a coach when he returned to Old Trafford this month.

The 45-year-old is determined to bring back the attacking style of play and continue the club's traditions of bringing young players from the academy.

Solskjaer said: “I have been in touch with the gaffer quite a bit.

“I don't know what input he had but when I got the call, of course, I texted the boss.

“I am going to enjoy a nice cup of tea back at his house and sit down to discuss a few ideas. There's no-one better to get advice from.

“I had the best teacher. The boss is and will always be the best, so my management involves around what I learned from him.”

The Norwegian will be looking to make it three wins out of three when Eddie Howie's side pay a visit to the Theatre of Dreams.

Striker Romelu Lukaku, Anthony Martial and Alexis Sanchez have been made available for selection for the crunch fixture against the Cherries.

Lukaku was on compassionate leave in the last two matches while Sanchez has fully recovered from a hamstring injury that kept him out since the end of November.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
