* United host Huddersfield on Dec 26, Cardiff at Crystal PalaceOle Gunnar Solskjaer enjoyed a dream start as Manchester United's interim manager as his side thrashed his former club Cardiff City 5-1 in the Premier League on Saturday. Solskjaer, handed control after this week's sacking of Jose Mourinho, spent a miserable nine months at Cardiff in 2014, getting them relegated from the top-flight. However, he was quickly celebrating when Marcus Rashford scored with a fiercely-struck free kick from distance after three minutes. Two minutes later, Anthony Martial started and finished a brilliant quick passing move to weave into the box and restore United's two goal cushion. Neil Warnock's Cardiff, meanwhile, remain 17th and just two points above the relegation zone.
