The good times have arrived back at Old Trafford with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer overseeing six wins on the bounce since taking over the reigns until the end of the season.
The Man United squad is playing with smiles on their faces once again with attacking football back at Old Trafford following the dismal spell under Jose Mourinho where all hope seemed to die a slow death.
Paul Pogba is all of a sudden the player we knew he could be and similar comments apply to the rest of the team. Marcus Rashford scored a lovely goal to give United a massive win over an off-colour Spurs on Sunday and the fans at the Theatre of Dreams are now looking to future with optimism once again, rather than dread.
The identity of the next permanent manager remains up in the air and likely to stay that way for some time yet but the speculation continues to be rife with Solskjaer now the clear favourite to be in the dug out for the first game of next season.
There is no doubt that the former United player has stabilise the ship and allowed the players off the leash, but are the board at the club really going to hand the job over to someone with so little managerial success at the top level?
A few wins is all well and good but United would be crazy to ignore the claims of the likes Mauricio Pochettino and Zinedine Zidane in their search. The Spurs manager has turned the Tottenham squad into perennial top four challengers and done it with a good brand over football over a consistent number of years in English football.
Criticism of his lack of trophies is absolute nonsense in the day and age when the two domestic cup competitions mean next to nothing for the big six clubs in the top flight and he deserves his chance at a bigger club.
Zidane too has all the pedigree that one of the biggest clubs in the world need to have in the modern era of the super coach with his achievements at Real Madrid looking more impressive by the day given the Los Blancos struggles following his departure.
Solskjaer has already done his job back at his old club but regardless of how the rest of the campaign goes, the powers that be at the club must resist the temptation to hand him the keys to the kingdom on a full-time basis. Their former hero has got the squad playing to the level their quality should be at, but to get the club competing with Man City and Liverpool at the pinnacle of the Premier League table they are going to need something a little bit special.
Now is not the time for United to be romantic, now is the time to make a statement.
