Ola Gunnar Solskjaer is an easy man to love.
It's not just his history as a player in the Red Devils and the mythical goal in that historic final in Barcelona 22 years ago.
It is the kindness, the smile, the calm body language on the lines, the gentlemanliness and the respect it gives to the players, the audience, the rivalry and the game.
Solskjaer returned to Old Trafford in December 2018 in place of Jean Mourinho, who managed to quarrel with everyone around him, and if I take a paraphrase from Seinfeld, he arrived as Mourinho's Complete Opposite.
A calm, non-extroverted person, identified with the club, one who puts the players in front of him and the players play for him.

The start was great (8 consecutive wins) and later he stabilized the club and even managed to achieve second place last season, in what appeared to be progress on the way to conquering the coveted goal.
United did 'All In' this season when they embarked on a buying spree that was big on their coach.
There is a big difference between running a team when its star is the great Bruno Fernandez and around him young and talented players that you need to promote, and a desire to take titles here and now with the biggest title eater of all, Cristiano Ronaldo.
After a good season opener, mostly due to the inertia of the impressive summer, United just crashed, no other word, having lost five of the last seven league games, absorbing 2 quartets and a five and looking completely lost.
Solskjaer did not find the right lineup, Bruno disappeared in the shadow of Ronaldo, Maguire and Shaw did not stop making mistakes, Pogba was sent off in humiliation against Liverpool in an act of escaping the situation and Sancho is still looking for a goal or a first cook in the red uniform.
Yesterday's game at Watford was the low point, with embarrassing mistakes and lack of interest on the part of some of the players and it was clear that it was impossible to continue from here.

The big teams of the Premier League have realized that if they want to dominate the league, they must first bring in the best coaches to run the business.
That’s why City brought in football genius Pep Guardiola.
Liverpool, after decades of suffering and mediocrity landed the most charismatic manager in the world, Jurgen Klopp who returned the title to Anfield.
And Chelsea, who tried to do a solstice with Frank Lampard, replaced him with Thomas Tuchel, who brought her the European Championship and turned it from a confused team into a well-oiled machine that leads the best league in the world.
The example of Chelsea is the one that the people of United should see before their eyes.
Bringing in a proven coach with high management abilities and a brilliant football head.
After Conte signed for Tottenham (not sure he fits United style), United could try to go for a vacant coach in the form of Zidane, or think outside the box, fly to Amsterdam and offer an open check to Ajax to free them the brilliant football brain, brother Eric Tan.
Ferguson.

But this time, the Glazers must not compromise on the coach's position, even if it means breaking the coffers, because only a super coach, will be able to step into the shoes of a great coach of all time, the legendary Sir Alex and restore a crown to its former glory.
