The manager of Manchester United isn't doing a bad job, is he? I mean, considering he's a PE teacher and everything. Considering that he's just a cone-man. Considering he just hands out the bibs and collects the balls. Considering he's a novice who's way out of his depth at Old Trafford. Considering he's just a nerd in thrall to the big-name players.
Those were a few of the labels some people hung around the neck of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer when he took over at Old Trafford.
Those are the accusations they're still making, although that noise fell silent when United went level on points with Liverpool at the top of the table on Friday when they beat Aston Villa to make it eight wins in their last 10 Premier League games.
