Nice chap, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Pep Guardiola surely thinks so. Brendan Rodgers, too. David Moyes and Jurgen Klopp perhaps not so much.
The team Solskjaer picked for his second match in five days had ramifications throughout the top six places; for just about everybody, bar Manchester United. It gave the title to Manchester City; made Leicester very hard to catch inside the top four.
It all but ended West Ham’s hopes of Champions League qualification, and made placed Liverpool’s return to the competition in jeopardy. As for United, well their job is done. A top four finish is guaranteed and this was about protecting tired legs from an unworkable fixture schedule with a European final still to come.
