Man United had to work very hard to defeat Copenhagen after 120 minutes in the Europa League quarter-final. The "Red Devils" legs have shown signs of fatigue after a special season with a tight schedule.
Man United will enter the third semi-final of this season. They have previously lost to Man City in the English League Cup (EFL Cup) and lost to Chelsea in the FA Cup. Now is the time for coach Solskjaer to have a title with Man United.
Looking back at the time Ole started leading the "Red Devils" up to now, it was not an easy journey. Solskjaer has been in charge of Man United since December 2018 as an interim manager after Jose Mourinho was sacked. Ole have had a dream start with 14 wins in 19 matches. And this young coach was rewarded with an official contract on March 28, 2019.
However, after disappointing expectations and reality, Man United was unstable, only ranked 6th overall, unable to qualify for the Champions League. This instability even lasted until the first half of the 2020 season, when M.U fell freely to the group in the middle of the table and Solskjaer was even on the brink of being fired.
The Red Devils have transformed in the second phase when adding Fernandes and Ighalo in the winter transfer window. They also welcomed the return of Nemanja Matic. Thanks to that, Man United was able to finish in 3rd place overall after the Premier League ended.
However, it is also necessary to see that winning a ticket to the Champions League is not simple when Man United had to wait until the final round, deciding their own fate by defeating Leicester City.
Solskjaer's mark in the 2019-2020 season was the discovery and opportunity for young talents. Mason Greenwood's maturity is the clearest proof. In addition, two important factors in the attack, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford, have gradually affirmed their pioneering role in the team.
After Man United won the goal of reaching the Top 4, many opinions were raised for Solskjaer whether we should soon end the 2019-200 season to prepare for the new season right now by leaving the Europa League? That will not be the choice of a big club.
Solskjaer won 12 titles while playing for Man United. Now, he needs a title as a coach. Opportunity is right in front of you, when it seems like luck is still smiling at the "Red Devils"!
