Man United-Villarreal rematch is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's chance to show he can break his boom-and-bust cycle

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is going nowhere. It just depends on your point of view on the Manchester United manager as to what that statement actually means.

For the Old Trafford hierarchy -- the club's American owners, the Glazer family, and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward -- it means only one thing, with United sources telling ESPN that Solskjaer has their unequivocal support and remains the man they expect to bring success back to the club. Solskjaer, 48, was given a new three-year contract this summer because his bosses believe he is on track to restore United to the summit of English and European football.
