Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appointment: Gary Neville’s prediction at the start of March has come eerily true just weeks later
The news that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been given the Manchester United job on a permanent basis is still surprising, despite it being obvious he had done his chances no harm in recent months.The Baby-Faced Assassin’ has transformed the fortunes of the club since replacing Jose Mourinho in December and has won 10 of his 13 Premier League matches in that time.2

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was made permanent United boss on Thursday

Solskjaer helped to mastermind the stunning comeback win over Paris Saint-Germain, as United won 3-1 to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals.There were also impressive FA Cup victories at both Arsenal and Chelsea.While this is all very admirable from the Norwegian, a simple act from a former team-mate has quietly gone under the radar.Although Neville may well be a fantastic pundit, predicting the future is not a well-known trait of the former United and England defender.However, it would appear the 44-year-old was spot on with his theory that Solskjaer would get the job later this month, when asked back at the start of March.2

Neville will have to get to grips with seeing Solskjaer in the dugout on a permanent basis

“I think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will get given the job. The right time for me was always mid-March to the end of March, and that’s when the international break is, Neville said prior to the last-16 tie with PSG.“I’ll be surprised if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not awarded the job in the international break in the next couple of weeks.”United currently sit in fifth place, just two points off fourth-placed Arsenal, as they prepare to host Watford at Old Trafford on Saturday.
