It was well publicised in early January that no Reds boss had ever enjoyed a better start in the role, but Solskjaer has continued to blaze a luminescent trail in his opening weeks in charge.
No other United manager came close to winning his first eight straight games at the helm while, with nine wins and a draw, Solskjaer's start is comfortably the best ever enjoyed in the first 10 games. Sir Matt Busby and Frank O'Farrell are his nearest rivals in terms of return, having won seven, drawn two and lost one in the same number of matches.
