Solskjaer will prove beyond doubt Man Utd were right to sack Mourinho if he beats Everton after shock derby win – The Sun

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER will prove beyond all doubt Manchester United were right to sack Jose Mourinho – if his side beat Everton this weekend.

If United pick up all three points against the Toffees, Solskjaer will have picked up more points in his first 17 Premier League matches this season than Mourinho managed in his first – and last 17 – last season.

The Norwegian chief has overseen six wins, six draws and four defeats in his first 16 league matches in charge, for a total of 24 points.

Should he steal another win this weekend, after superb victories over Tottenham and rivals Manchester City – Solskjaer will boast one more point than Mourinho in the same span.

In the 17 matches up until his sacking, now-Spurs coach Jose won seven, drew five and lost five – with a goal difference of 0.

Solskjaer's United currently have a goal difference of +6 from his first 17 matches "at the wheel".

The Norwegian got off to a flying start to life at Old Trafford, but the club's form from February onwards took a massive nosedive.
