The Norwegian boss' results forced Man United execs to hand him the job despite their initial doubts.

It was not a question of why, but a question of when. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer proved he could lead Manchester United and now he has been handed the permanent job as the team's boss, following his appointment as caretaker due to Jose Mourinho's dismissal.

The Norwegian boss, who successfully led the Red Devils to a shocking comeback in the UEFA Champions League against PSG, shared his views on the new responsibility on his shoulders and how he will try to handle the pressure from fans and experts.

Then, the "new" boss revealed the reason behind his successful run...while aiming a cheeky dig at Louis Van Gaal for his recent words.

Solskjaer seems to believe that the club is ready to battle for a spot among the top four with eight games to be played.

Manchester United will face Watford this weekend, with their sights set on leapfrogging Arsenal -and even Tottenham- in the race to finish among the top four teams in the Premier League.
