Manchester United under Ole Gunnar Solskjær: Reviving the “Devil’s bloodline”

The Red Devils fans are getting used to staying up all night to watch their players on the field, regardless of the tournament. They stay up to watch their beloved team play, hoping for victory and waiting for surprises.

It has been nearly 6 years since Sir Alex Ferguson's last match on May 19, 2013, MU fans have experienced many emotions, but the end point is always disappointment. They have changed 3 coaches in just over 5 years (not counting interim coach Ryan Giggs).

David Moyes, the first choice, threw away all the legacy Sir Alex had built in 26 years before the end of a season. Next was Luis Van Gaal with his sleepy, boring style of play, people no longer saw MU playing football, just machines running on a programmed routine, repeating over and over again.

Things got worse when Mourinho arrived, although initially United won a few more trophies as Jose had always done. However, the nightmare began when United became a team that only focused on defending and disrupting the opponent's style of play. The dressing room conflict arose fiercely and Mourinho was not capable of solving the problem.

So, the efforts of the MU leadership to clear the clouds after the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era have failed. 2 out of 3 people chosen were even fired right in the middle of the season.

The reason, in short, is: No coach understands the nature of the "Devil's bloodline", they do not know how to promote, exploit and honor it.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær arrived on a short-term loan from Molde - initially with the task of restoring stability to the United dressing room before the club's board of directors chose a more worthy name in the summer. Few believed Solskjær had the talent and ability to lead the "Devils", especially in the extremely chaotic situation at the end of the Mourinho era.

People talk about Cardiff's relegation and Ole's sacking, but few remember that Molde won two consecutive championships in 2011-2012 under the guidance of the former MU striker nicknamed "the baby-faced assassin", something unprecedented in Molde's history. In the 2018 season, Molde only finished 2nd but had the best scoring record in the tournament.

And then the consecutive victories came to the “Red Devils”. Many people were still skeptical, winning against small teams did not mean anything. But then Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea were also surpassed, and those were away victories. What could be more convincing?

What’s even more amazing is the way Man Utd play, it’s easy to see the echoes of Sir Alex’s time with the mindset of attacking to score goals, scoring more goals than the opponent is enough, or not stopping attacking until the end of the game. Even “Firgie Time” has returned with goals in the 90th minute or extra time.

Those who struggled during Mourinho's time, such as Pogba, Linderloff, Martial, Rashford, Luke Shaw... suddenly transformed and shone brightly. Solsa and ManUtd continuously set records in the domestic league. The Manucians were flying high as if they were living in another world. Who would have thought that under the hands of the "Baby-faced Assassin", Man Utd would be revived so perfectly?

Does anyone other than Manucians believe that MU will come back against Paris Saint - Germain after losing 0 - 2 at Old Trafford? No one dares to believe! Because in the history of UCL, no team has ever done that; 34 teams have been in the same situation as MU and all of them failed.

But this is Manchester United, led by a coach with the DNA of the “Red Devils”. As long as the ball is rolling, there will be fighting. A squad missing nearly half of its key players due to injury and suspension, a squad with an average age of 24, including many players promoted from the youth team, played a great match. Play big once to make the world remember who you are? That’s Manchester United.

Beautiful football is not enough, but also need titles. Manchester United also need titles and the coach who wants to assert himself must have titles. But for now, with what he has done in a short period of 3 months, Solskjær has affirmed that he is the most suitable person for the "Red Devil blood" of Manchester. For a simple reason, he also has "Devil blood".

An official contract will definitely be signed. Of course, who could be more convincing than Solsa!
