Their problems haven't all suddenly disappeared, but this team is unrecognisable from the one that would trudge to scrappy draws under José Mourinho.
United progressed to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Monday night, beating a predictably predictable Chelsea 2-0 with very little difficulty. Two first half headers from Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba were enough to send them through to the last eight and the sizeable away crowd thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
The travelling fans are so enamoured with this new look United, they've coined a new chant, praising Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's leadership, to the tune of Waterfall by the Stone Roses.
Videos of the away support singing the chant circulated far and wide on social media last night due to its banger factor and the utter joy that pervades the fanbase at the moment.
Its lyrics go as follows:
Ole’s at the wheelTell me how good does it feel We’ve got Sanchez, Paul Pogba and Fred Marcus Rashford’s a Manc born and bred Du du du du dudu du du Greatest of English football We’ve won it all all

We should expect to hear a lot more of this chant for the rest of the season - and possibly next season - if United are able to continue this rich vein of form.
