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.”

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.
