Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's winning run as Manchester United's interim manager is on the line against the front-runner for the job, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, when the sides meet at Wembley tomorrow.
The Molde manager has set out his stall with five wins out of five and has made no secret of his desire to earn the chance to take charge permanently at the end of the season.
Pochettino, meanwhile, also said this week he could envisage staying in north London for 20 years.
As an audition for the United job, the counter-attacking football used by Spurs could not have failed to catch the eye of United chief executive Ed Woodward.
The 46-year-old is reportedly Woodward's favourite. He is hugely popular with players, Spurs play attractive football, he develops talent and perhaps most importantly he is a club-builder, which United desperately need in the post-Alex Ferguson era.
