Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini has backed Solskjaer to emerge from his recent difficulties and take Manchester United back to the top.
Cristiano Ronaldo secured a memorable 3-2 comeback victory when the sides met for the first time a fortnight ago in Group F.
"I can only talk about what I've seen in terms of the way they play and the results they've got," said the Atalanta head coach, whose side are two points behind leaders United in Group F.
"I think they had an incredible run towards the back end of last season. They finished as runners-up and then they lost the Europa League final, but he certainly did a top-class job.
"This year I think he's still trying to find consistency with a team that has a great deal of potential and they've shown that from time to time.
"But I really believe that he will find the right fit and he will be able to take Manchester United back to the top, and that includes in the Premier League."
Rafael Toloi, Berat Djimsiti, Matteo Pessina and Robin Gosens remain unavailable for Gasperini.
