Is he the manager or the front man for Sir Alex who apparently visits the training ground every day?

I see what you mean now thanks.

strong and stable with me, or...
What you're saying is, that at 77 and after a recent life threatening brain haemorrhage, he is now back at the training ground managing the football team every day? Really?
I don't really care about Man United enough to care about what Solskjaer says or thinks.
The Media are using him to take pot shots at Jose Mourhino with - Once they have shot him to pieces and they have Solskjaer on that pedestal - He will be next in the firing line, just as soon as the Champions League matches come around.
He should just keep his head down and be very humble. I think he is loving the adoration and might be getting swept up in the hype.
He seems a nice chap actually and I will be sorry to see the same Media who have raised him up solely to take pot shots at him in the coming months.

No what I am asking and suggesting is it possible that OGS is acting under Sir Alex instructions and guidance as regards training and possibly even team selection.
I am sure he likes working for free, the same person who went to court over the stud rights of a horse gifted to him

Fergie doesn't work for free, he is an ambassador and gets paid.
OGS is not only a legend amongst United fans but has been groomed for this job. Years ago fergie said he will be United manager. And he has managed the u18's with great success. Whether it is this season, or next, he will become United manager one day. I think he will be given it this season though.
Mourinho should never have been given the job, for many reasons but style of play was the biggest factor. I can't believe fergie gave his blessing to be honest.
Lastly, 7 out of 7, of course he will bask in the glory, who wouldn't?

Never really understood all this hatred for Man United. I get that it's common practice to dislike successful sides, but they're certainly less obnoxious in my view than teams like Man City (new club, disregarded years of mediocre history), Chelsea (same), and Arsenal (appalling treatment of club legends, arrogance above any other). I've always been pretty impressed with their youth policy - they've got a great history of allowing youngsters time in the 1st team, and their most successful time was with a core of local lads playing regularly.
Also got nothing against Solskjaer - seems like a fairly decent bloke, and is probably what they need after the LVG/Mourinho shit show.

The youth policy of ripping youth of other clubs, appalling treatment of club legends (Dennis Law, David Beckham, George Best arrogance above any other the cock o the North). Local lads like erm ahem Beckham, Giggs, Cantona, Cole, Schmeichel, Solskjaer, Keane and Ronaldo. I remember seeing City demote United with their disregarded legend (history).

he looked far from smug when in camera shot during the second half

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
He's certainly making Mourinho look more of a **** week by week.
My missus asked me during tonights game a) which team I disliked more (hard that one), and b) why did I dislike Man U so much. It's so difficult to explain isn't it - a complicated mix of disliking their smugness, their 'should be beating #TeamslikeBrighton', their sense of entitlement during the 1980s, stealing our cup final tickets, and to a large extent Ron Atkinson and his gold medallions! Just how do you explain it?

I think this is emphatic evidence of just how anal Jose really was as a manager, Pogba has proved he is world class

I think this is the only place I see the word "smug" regularly used. Seems to be reserved for those that haven't done much wrong, you just don't like them.

I like him, indeed I've liked United ever since that treble winning season, the football they played at that time is exactly the kind of football I most enjoy watching, and it seems that OGS has got a bit of that back
Have you considered counselling? You LIKE Manchester United?
You aren't an actual football supporter are you. Can't be Brighton anyway.

I lived in Manchester for four years, including during the treble season. That became very infectious. I can't stand Liverpool, Arsenal, City or Chelsea, but don't mind United.
