It looked like the kind of team selection that gets a manager a response or moves him towards the sack.
On this occasion, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came out on the right side of it and has now left himself with the biggest question of his time in charge at Manchester United. Is he brave enough to build a team without Paul Pogba in it?
This was a much-improved performance from Solskjaer’s United. Yes, the opposition were meek but still had to be beaten once they had been given a goal start. United did it comfortably and with a little style in the closing moments.
