Tom Heaton believes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has got what it takes to continue his success as Manchester United’s stand-in boss.
But the Clarets’ captain will be doing everything possible to bring to an end his former team-mate’s perfect start at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
Heaton and Solskjaer were squad members together under Sir Alex Ferguson at United in the final few years of the Norwegian’s trophy-laden playing career.
Solksjaer also worked with Heaton and some of the club’s young players as reserve-team boss as he laid down the foundation for a subsequent coaching career, with those qualities now coming to the fore as United’s interim manager.
