Fulham’s troubles, Manchester United’s resurgence: Talking points from Matchday 26

#2 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s case strengthens

Manchester United’s convincing win over Fulham fired the Red Devils into the top four. But, it also strengthened Solskjaer’s case of being given the permanent contract at the club next season.

The Norwegian is currently the interim boss, but is slowly building a strong case for the permanent managerial job with 10 games in 11 matches.

His UCL run will also play a key part but what should also be taken into account the footballing style and the general atmosphere around the club along with their final league position.

At the moment, Ole is well placed on all the fronts.

#1 Is Aguero the greatest Premier League striker of this generation?

Matchday 26 was all about Sergio Aguero, who roared into the record books by scoring a hat-trick against Chelsea.

The Argentine equalled Alan Shearer’s record of scoring 11 hat-tricks in the Premier League and also became only the sixth player score or assist 200 goals for one club in the league, thus joining the likes of Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Thierry Henry, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard.

In addition, the Manchester City superstar overtook Eric Brook and Tommy Johnson’s record 158 top-flight goals for the club.

Chelsea simply couldn’t deal with him on Sunday.
