That’s according to former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp.
Solskjaer took charge of his former club in December, replacing Jose Mourinho who was sacked following a disastrous start to the campaign.
The Norwegian has enjoyed a stunning start to life in the Old Trafford dugout, guiding his side to wins in all but one of his 11 games in charge.
United face their biggest test of the season on Tuesday as they host PSG in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie.

Solskjaer is in pole position to land the job permanently after impressing as interim boss.
But regardless of the result against the French giants, Redknapp believes the former striker will be judged on his results in the Premier League.
“After they drew Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last 16, I said that for the first time, United were the team everyone wanted to face,” he told the
Daily Mail .
“With Mourinho in the dugout, I argued, they had next to no chance.
“Now, I cannot imagine Thomas Tuchel is looking forward to Tuesday's trip to Old Trafford — not least because Neymar and possibly Edinson Cavani will be absent.
“Their stars are playing with a new-found freedom and confidence. United fans I speak to are excited about watching their team again. The aura of invincibility is returning to Old Trafford.
“United have an excellent chance of reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
“Even if they go further, there would be a feeling of disappointment at Old Trafford if they did not qualify for Europe’s elite competition next season.
