The Reds are fighting on three fronts going into the final three months of the campaign. Solskjaer's side are now in a scrap for third place after the favourites for that spot, Tottenham Hotspur, dropped points during the week, while an Emirates FA Cup quarter-final tie against Wolves is a couple of weeks away. And of course, the second leg of our last-16 Champions League tie against Paris Saint-Germain takes place next week with United needing to overturn a two-goal deficit from the first meeting at Old Trafford.

When the Norwegian spoke to the media in his pre-match press conference, he reiterated that he did not want his charges to shy away from any of the challenges that lie ahead, and stated his belief that the players should recognise their careers with the club as the best times of their lives.
