Ole has upper hand

-

OPINION seems well and truly divided on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s two years at Manchester United.

Yet if there is one thing everyone agrees on it is that United have not been dull under the Norwegian.

Yes, doom and d gloom followed their exit from the Champions League, but going out has done ne nothing to diminish ish their ability to raise their game to a high level indeed.

And, in the Manchester derby, they have been handed an early shot at redemption, which I believe they can take. The Solskjaer- Pep Guardiola rivalry currently stands at 3- 2 in five match- ups and, for only the second time since the Spaniard’s arrival, City go in to the derby y behind United in the table table.

With City still m missing a fully fi fit Sergio A Aguero, and w with only four w wins from their pas past nine league games games, I reckon United hold the aces so back them to win at 7- 2. City defender Kyle Walker, above, seeing a yellow card ( 4- 1) and United’s Marcus Rashford scoring at 11- 4 also has appeal.
