When Jose Mourinho’s future was in the balance, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was not among the candidates to succeed him. How did he go from no-hoper to shoo-in?
The run had been bettered only once since Ferguson retired. The feel-good factor was back at Old Trafford, and suddenly Solskjaer was being talked about as a potential successor to Mourinho.
Moyes was lambasted for sweeping out Ferguson's backroom team in 2013. The idea Woodward would sanction the same thing again, which would have to happen if Pochettino got the job, was ridiculous. Any caretaker who delivered the results he has since replacing Mourinho would feel they had a pretty decent claim on the job, even without the back story.
However, as he has repeatedly said, he feels more at ease at United than he ever did in south Wales. And he has raised both the individual and collective performance levels and consistency from Mourinho's tepid final season.
