According to The Sun, United chief executive Ed Woodward has been very impressed with Solskjaer since appointing him on a short-term deal until the end of the season.
It is claimed that Woodward visited Solskjaer last week to tell him what a good job his was doing.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has long been touted as United’s first choice.
But The Sun reports that the majority of the players and staff at Old Trafford believe Solskjaer will get the gig on a full-time basis if he sees them into the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the expense of PSG.
United’s cause will be boosted an injury to Neymar who is set to miss both legs with a broken metatarsal.
