Terrace Talk: Man United - A week is even longer in football than in politics

For much of the past few months, you could argue that the British Prime Minister whom Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has most resembled is Boris Johnson. A hugely popular potential saviour who ends up stumbling into one contretemps after another, yet somehow always manages to plough doggedly on to the next.

But this morning, Ole can channel the 1979 leader Jim Callaghan instead of 2019 Boris. ‘Crisis? What crisis?’ he is entitled to say, after his boys scored six in two games. The misery of Bournemouth suddenly seems a long away. A week is an even longer time in football than in politics, as Harold Wilson almost said.
