The side, however, still sits sixth on the Premier League standings, just three points behind fifth-placed Arsenal with a game to play.

The Manchester outfit has also notched an impressive 16 goals since the arrival of Solskjaer from Molde.

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.

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...
