Beaming Man Utd boss Solskjaer gives thumbs up on Lowry return despite only being able to sign loan players in January

Caretaker boss Solskjaer is staying at the hotel predecessor Jose Mourinho resided in during his two-and-a-half years at Old Trafford.

But the former striker brought the glory days back yesterday when his 5-1 win at Cardiff was the first time United had hit five since 2013.

There was some bad news in the transfer market for Solskjaer, though.

According to the Daily Mirror, the Norwegian coach will only be allowed to make loan signings next month as United plan ahead.

Cash will be saved for their next permanent boss who is expected to be named in the summer.


Mauricio Pochettino is the man United want to fill the vacant role but the Tottenham boss was prevented from answer questions on the subject in his latest press conference.

Solskjaer will remain in the post until the summer and has an opportunity to impress the United hierarchy.

The club remains in the FA Cup and takes on Paris Saint-Germain in the first stage of the Champions League knockouts in February.

But former team-mate Gary Neville believes Solskjaer has two main tasks to target.

Neville told Sky Sports: "Firstly it's getting the club into the Champions League, that is ultimately what he has to try and do, and if they can get a trophy that would be amazing.

"But I think the bigger job is helping the club assess the players in the dressing room, those players, some of whom have hidden behind Jose Mourinho in the last 6-12 months."
