Manchester United lingering in the mid-region of the Premier League table when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed caretaker manager in December 2018, following a disastrous start to the season under Jose Mourinho.
Immediately, the Norwegian boss started the ‘cultural reset’ we became accustomed to during Solskjaer’s first six months in charge of the club. An impressive run of results earned him the gig full-time and since then, he has finished third (2019/20) and second (2020/21).
Heavy investments have been made this summer, with Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane, and Cristiano Ronaldo all completing moves to the Theatre of Dreams over the window.
After winning four out of their opening five fixtures, United are now winless in two, both coming at Old Trafford. Former Liverpool and Tottenham striker Peter Crouch has given his two cents on United under Solskjaer and has insisted that they have improved under his stewardship.
Crouch does, however, question United’s ability to challenge for the Premier League title, with last weekend’s drab draw with Everton doing little to prove their title credentials.
