Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he is loving life as Manchester United's caretaker manager and is already making plans for next season, even though the Norwegian still does not know if he will remain in charge.

The 45-year-old has made a record-breaking start in charge at Old Trafford, becoming the first boss to begin his United career with eight straight victories.

That has led to a growing clamour from supporters for Solskjaer to be confirmed as manager on a permanent basis, despite United still being linked strongly with Tottenham's Mauricio Pochettino.

Victory away at Pochettino's Spurs and Arsenal in the FA Cup on Friday have dismissed suggestions early in Solskjaer's run that he had just benefitted from a kind run of fixtures.

"I love it," said Solskjaer ahead of Burnley's visit to Old Trafford on Tuesday. "It's what you want, we've had some fantastic results, great performances.

"And the improvement I can see in many aspects, just from Tottenham to Arsenal; the way we improved the structure, the ideas, we've got to know each other more and they've got to know me and what I want from the team.

"For a few games everyone said it was just about attacking, attacking, attacking but it's the other part I've been happy with. We've not conceded many chances."
"What Manchester United are going to look like next season with or without me, it doesn't really matter. I'm here as part of that to prepare the team for next season. That means doing well now."
