Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will take to the Old Trafford dugout as Manchester United's new permanent manager today as Watford head to the Theatre of Dreams. Solskjaer has revitalised United since coming in caretaker manager, and has been rewarded with a three-year contract as the Red Devils' future begins to take shape. Despite Solskjaer's sensational start, his first job is to kickstart their campaign after two away defeats on the trot before the international break. Wolves dumped United out of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win at Molineux, while a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal saw the Gunners leapfrog the Red Devils into the Champions League qualification places. United need to get back to winning ways as the race for a Premier League top-four finish becomes increasingly tense, and Solskjaer will have to juggle his weakened squad against an in-form Watford side who are on a high after reaching the FA Cup semi-finals.
