Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United go from strength to strength after beating Unai Emery’s Arsenal 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium in the FA Cup Fourth Round.Manchester United are arguably the best team in England at the moment.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has just masterminded his eighth win in a row since taking over as caretaker manager after United breezed past Arsenal on their own turf in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

United have beaten Cardiff City , Huddersfield Town, Bournemouth , Newcastle United , Reading ,

Tottenham Hotspur , Brighton and Hove Albion and now Arsenal during this run.

Can anyone argue that Solskjaer shouldn’t be

appointed on a permanent basis after this incredible start?

United’s opening goal came from ex-Gunners player Alexis Sanchez in the 31st minute after a nice through ball by Romelu Lukaku.

The Red Devils doubled their lead moments later after Jesse Lingard tucked away a neat cross from Lukaku, earning the latter his second assist of the night.

Arsenal got one back before half time after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang tapped home a ball that wasn’t dealt with by United’s defenders.

Although the second half was a nervy one, United managed to kill the game off after substitute Anthony Martial tapped home a shot that was parried to him by goalkeeper Petr Cech – securing his side’s place in the FA Cup Fifth Round .
