Carabao Cup semi-finalists and two points behind Premier League leader Liverpool for Manchester United if they win their match in hand. Not bad for a club in crisis. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has shown on more than one occasion that he is capable of dealing with pressure, something from which he still cannot seem to escape.
However, as we approach the festive period, the United manager has brought his team into a dominant position to help forget the disappointment of their exit from the Champions League at the hands of RB Leipzig.
Fundamentally, much of this is actually due to Solskjaer’s invention and talent, although he still won’t get the credit he deserves.
The introduction of his diamond midfield has proven to be a masterstroke in recent months and is helping to bring out the best in the players at his disposal.
Last night on Merseyside, United was finally able to try something they have been dreaming of since September.
ONLY IN: Man Utd’s transfer deal by Hakan Calhanoglu “ will happen ”
Fernandes will always be the main protagonist and that has been evident since he arrived from Sporting in January.
He is the perfect player to place on the tip of the diamond and is a forward’s dream.
It’s the role that Pogba would love to play, but the Frenchman has now firmly lost the boat.
While his long-term future may be far from United, Solskjaer is clearly unwilling to turn his back on the World Cup winner.
Had the saga played out under Sir Alex Ferguson, the legendary United manager would have made an example of the player and realized that no player is bigger than the club.
However, Solskjaer has been willing to let Pogba focus on his football and is now starting to reap the rewards.
Now we are witnessing the best of the former Juventus player and, once again, talking about not being able to play with Fernandes now seems like a thing of the past.
When Pogba lets his football do the talking, you realize how good he really can be. Unfortunately for United, those days don’t come often enough.
