Man Utd vs Huddersfield
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Old Trafford
Kick-off time: 3pm GMT
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer returns to Old Trafford on Boxing Day riding a wave of optimism after a perfect start to life as Manchester United's caretaker manager.
Solskjaer could have scarcely asked for a kinder start to life at United - an 5-1 away win at Cardiff City followed by a home tie against a Huddersfield side who have lost their last five League games - but as the old saying goes, you can only beat what is put in front of you.
The United fan favourite is not necessarily under pressure to deliver results following Jose Mourinho's sacking, but picking up points in games such as these will not do his chances of landing the job permanently any harm.
