For Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2018, read Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2024. A much-loved former fan favourite returns to lift the gloom at Manchester United with a free-flowing five-star performance.
Ruud is at the wheel. This time, however well the audition goes, his licence will remain temporary. Van Nistelrooy already knows that, which is why he was making the most of this demolition of a dismal Leicester City in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
It's a bit early for festive references, but United's past, present and future all had an interest and an investment in proceedings.
Van Nistelrooy relished every minute of an opportunity he probably had an idea would come when he joined Erik ten Hag's backroom staff in the summer.
