The former Man Utd manager had a superb record against Pep Guardiola and Manchester City.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came unstuck at Manchester United when, for big games against Manchester City and Liverpool, he changed tack and moved away from a successful formula.
“We needed to be Man United,” Solskjaer later said on the Stick To Football podcast. “Don’t defend, don’t be counter-attacking, go toe-to-toe with them – because if not, there’s no point being at Man United. Solskjaer had the same problems Erik ten Hag has endured trying to develop United's style of play. Often under the Dutchman it's been difficult to discern any sort of tactical philosophy.
Five from six could spell the end of the Ten Hag era, so the United manager must follow the example of his predecessor and go into counter-attack mode. Marcus Rashford is firmly in the latter category, his recent England snub an indication of how far he's fallen this season. Fred, whose scurrying midfield style complemented Solskjaer's style, has left. Harry Maguire, a rock at the back for the Norwegian, is an injury doubt for Wembley.
