It is safe to say that Solskjaer’s impact has surpassed all expectations so far, with his arrival prompting a dramatic turnaround in performances as well as results.

The Red Devils have scored at least three goals in each of their three games under the interim coach, having done so just twice in 17 league matches under Mourinho.

Considering one of those two three-goal hauls came in October’s reverse encounter with the Magpies, the rejuvenated visitors will be particularly confident of another productive day in front of goal.

Predictions

Indeed, odds of 2/1 (3.00) are well worth backing on a reborn Manchester United scoring at least three times for their fourth match in a row.
