Rashford foils Mourinho's Old Trafford return, but have United really found new way forward?

MANCHESTER, England -- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer saluted all corners of Old Trafford after Manchester United had beaten Tottenham, and Jose Mourinho, with perhaps their best performance of the season in a 2-1 victory.

United's manager had gone into the game with the first noises emanating from around the club that his time at the helm could be running out, so the manner of the win, and the timing, may explain Solskjaer's uncharacteristic decision to milk the moment at the final whistle. After all, despite the victory, United are still only as high as sixth in the Premier League table and eight points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea in the race for Champions League qualification.
