His tactical exploits have seen the Manchester United legend emerge as a top contender for the Red Devils job on a permanent basis.

On his part, Solskjaer has not hid his desire to have the United job full-time, admitting he would not love to leave in the summer during a candid press conference a week ago.

However, despite managing to bring the swagger back at Old Trafford in such a short stint, reports in the UK contend Ole Gunnar will either need to win the FA Cup or Champions League, as well as finish in the top four to have a "serious chance".

The Norwegian's litmus test will be when his side battles Tottenham Hotspurs on Sunday, January 13, at Wembley stadium.

Solskjaer will be fighting for the bragging rights against Spurs boss, Mauricio Pochettino, who is also understood to be on United's shortlist for the Red Devils job.

Pochettino is a strong contender to take over the reins at the end of the summer alongside former Real Madrid boss, Zinedine Zidane.

Legit.ng earlier reported that interim Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted that he wants the Old Trafford job on a permanent basis.

The 45-year-old Norwegian football manager replaced Jose Mourinho at Manchester United, and he has been impressive since he took over winning all his games.

But there are reports that Manchester United chiefs are planning to hire another manager on permanent basis at the end of the season.
