Ole so proud of his players

– Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (above) seems keen to keep expectations under control as his dream start as Manchester United’s caretaker boss rolls on, but now and then he cannot help but show his satisfaction.

After sweeping Fulham aside with a 3-0 win at Craven Cottage on Saturday for their 10th win in 11 matches under the Norwegian, he found it hard not to praise his team to the skies.

Fulham, he said, had given his side a few scares in the opening 10 minutes – but then United took control.

“I thought we were fantastic for the last 80 minutes,” he said.

While he felt that speculation of a run for the title was overblown, he said United could still have some influence over who wins the league.

“We’ve got Liverpool, we’ve got Manchester City to play, so we might have a say in what’s happening at the top of the table,” he said.

Solskjaer’s next job is to lead the side back into Champions League action against Paris Saint Germain tomorrow. –
