Solskjaer was due to overtake Mourinho's games in charge of United last Sunday but will now do so in Rome, taking the reins for the 145th time.
The Norwegian is still standing, while Mourinho has been and gone at Tottenham. Qualifying for the Champions League in his first full season brought a measure of vindication for Solskjaer, but he must now train his sights on winning something.
United are looking to progress to their first major final in any competition under Solskjaer having previously been knocked out of all four cup semi-finals under the Norwegian.
"We're not going to play on the result, we're going to play to win that game," the United boss said.
"That's the only way I think we can play this game. Of course there might be one or two changes in the selection, but we have to get into the final.
"Everyone says it's done but I've seen bigger upsets than this. Roma beat Barcelona in a second leg after being 4-1 down."
