And Hislop says the stunning win over PSG was what convinced him Solskjaer was the right candidate.
“That’s an easy yes,” Hislop told ESPN FC when asked if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should get the job.

“Or to Solskjaer, given his record which is a little bit checkered, certainly in the Premier League.
“But what you’ve seen from him in the short term for Manchester United, I think warrants an opportunity.

“Listen, I know what happened at Cardiff, and I know he was at Molde before.
