After a second successive defeat, some Manchester United fans are debating whether they think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the perfect man for the permanent manager's job.

A 2-1 loss to Wolves saw United knocked out of the FA Cup after a disappointing performance which saw the deserved winners progress to the semi-final. Many fans felt this was the only realistic chance of winning silverware this season as United have been drawn against Barcelona in the Champions League quarter finals.

Solskjaer suffered his first league defeat at the hands of Arsenal, dealing them a blow in the top four race. Supporters are concerned about the prospect of failing to qualify for Europe's elite competition next season in terms of impact on future signings.

So far the majority of United fans have said they want Solskjaer to be appointed for next season, however some argue he shouldn’t be appointed on the back of wins against PSG, Chelsea and Arsenal but rather on if he can deliver a top four place, his ethos for next season and the players he wants to bring in.

Solskjaer has already got the best out of Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera but there is no doubt still more improvements to be made with other squad members.

Fans have said the players also need to take blame after the two losses as the attackers missed clear chances which should have resulted in goals. It is not fair for Solskjaer to shoulder the entire blame at all.

Against Arsenal, Romelu Lukaku missed United's biggest chance as he managed to hit the crossbar from five yards out. The players looked tired and lethargic against Wolves although Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic and Herrera were returning from injury.

Solskjaer understands the club, the history and heritage. He values youth and has given debuts to raw talents - in contrast to Jose Mourinho's philosophy.

After the international break, United face Watford and Wolves before they face Barcelona - more tests of how far the team have come under Solskjaer and a chance to prove recent performances were simply blips.
