Machester United interim manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who replaced Jose Mourinho in December has set a new record points for a manager in his first 10 Premier League matches after Manchester United’s 0-0 home draw with Liverpool which took him on to 26 points in 10 games.
The Norwegian swiftly changed to a more attack minded approach and United have remained unbeaten in the Premier League since he took over.
Sunday’s goalless draw at home to Liverpool is only the second time they have dropped points in the league under Solskjaer – the other occasion being against Burnley at Old Trafford, when United came from 2-0 down to rescue a point.
The draw against Liverpool will certainly go down as a good result for United given the context, as the hosts lost Nemanja Matic to injury in the build-up, before also seeing Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard all forced off in the first half.
Solskjaer has overtaken Guus Hiddink, Chelsea’s former boss, for the most points won by a manager in their first 10 Premier League games, the Dutchman had a total of 25 points.
Yesterdays fixture also saw David de Gea keep a clean sheet for the 100th time in the Premier League, making him the second goalkeeper to do so for United after Peter Schmeichel.
