Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the new permanent manager of Manchester United
The management of Manchester United have confirmed Ole Gunnar Solskajer’s appointment as their permanent manager on a three-year contract.
The Norwegian has overseen a dramatic transformation in United’s fortunes since taking temporary charge, following Jose Mourinho’s sacking in December, and the club have rewarded him for his work over the past three-and-a-half months by handing him the job on a full-time basis.
The deal ties Solskjaer - who will hold a press conference this afternoon - to the club until June 2022.
Solskjaer has had a run of 14 wins from 19 matches, which have helped propel United back into contention for a top-four finish and into the Champions League quarter-finals, coupled with his attempts to restore the club’s DNA on and off the field, persuaded the board that he was the right man to take them forward.
United are expected to make a “gesture of good will” to Molde following Solskjaer’s appointment, which could include a friendly match, although the details are still to be sorted out.
The Norwegian club agreed to release Solskjaer from his contract when United requested he take temporary charge and will now have to settle on a permanent replacement.
Dpea“From the first day I arrived, I felt at home at this special club,” said Solskjær. “It was an honour to be a Manchester United player, and then to start my coaching career here.
"The last few months have been a fantastic experience and I want to thank all of the coaches, players and staff for the work we’ve done so far.
