Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's claims for the Manchester United job will be given a serious test by upcoming matches against Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain, according to former team-mate Dwight Yorke.
Solskjaer will set a record if his United side beat Burnley at Old Trafford on Tuesday as he would become the first manager to win their first seven Premier League games in charge of a club.
The 45-year-old has also led United into the fifth round of the FA Cup after knocking out Arsenal on Friday, with a repeat of last year's final against Chelsea up next.
A kind run of Premier League fixtures has seen Solskjaer maintain a perfect record in all competitions since replacing Jose Mourinho on an interim basis last month, with United moving back into contention for Champions League qualification.
But, in February, United face successive matches against PSG in the Champions League, Chelsea in the FA Cup and leaders Liverpool in the Premier League.
Yorke backs Solskjaer to be awarded the United job on a permanent basis, though the club's former striker feels results in the next month will prove crucial to the Norwegian's claims.
"I think that's what you'll be judged on ultimately when you play for United," Yorke told Omnisport, speaking at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic before Monday's cup draw.
"No disrespect to the teams that they've played so far, it's teams that we expect to beat. And he's done that. He's done that convincingly in a very, very impressive way. Good to see.
"And I think everybody will be pointing their fingers when they meet the likes of Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain and that's where you're expecting your big players to try and produce.
"So they will be tested then and then people will start to make the decision on whether Ole is the man to take us forward or not."
