And it appears former team-mate Gary Neville was speaking on the behalf of United fans everywhere as he insisted Solskjaer should be handed the job permanently before they gushed over the emphatic 3-1 victory on Wednesday night.

While Neville talked up the Norwegian’s chances of getting the United job on a permanent basis, Solksjaer instead remained focused on the task in hand.

Solskjaer told Neville: ‘I am just going to do my best until the summer and see what the club decides. We have to remember tonight. Fantastic night.

‘We have a good relationship. It has been fantastic coaching them with Kieran, Michael, Demps, Mick, Emilio. We are a great team together. I think they enjoy us. 

‘We just want them to improve. We just want them to have nights like this. We have been part of it ourselves, haven’t we?’
