Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been appointed as Manchester United’s manager on a permanent basis after a successful four months in charge as a caretaker.

He has also led United to the quarter-final of the Champions League where they now face Barcelona, and a point off the top four.
Speaking to the official website, Solskjaer said: “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
“This is the job that I always dreamed of doing and I’m beyond excited to have the chance to lead the club long-term and hopefully deliver the continued success that our amazing fans deserve.”
Solskjaer played for United for 11 seasons scoring 91 goals in 235 Premier League appearances and winning six PL titles.
His first match in charge as permanent manager of Man Utd will be against Watford at Old Trafford on Saturday.
