Solskjaer falls short of Mourinho as he reaches Man Utd milestone

Manchester United's 3-0 win over Luton Town in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday saw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer record his 50th win in all competitions as Red Devils manager.

The milestone victory comes after just 92 games in charge with only Ernest Mangnall (78 games) and Jose Mourinho (81 games) bringing up 50 wins quicker at Old Trafford.

Solskjaer replaced Mourinho at United in December 2018 and became the first manager to win his first five league games in charge of the club since Sir Matt Busby in 1946.
