Ole's at the wheel! Ole Gunnar Solskjær appointed as permanent Manchester United manager
The Norwegian has overseen a remarkable turnaround at Old Trafford since taking over in an interim capacity.
Manchester United announces that current caretaker manager and former striker, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, has been appointed as the club’s full-time manager on a three-year contract.
Solskjær scored 126 goals in 366 appearances for United between 1996 and 2007 and also managed the club’s reserve team until the end of 2010. He was appointed caretaker manager on 19 December 2018 and won his first eight games in charge on the way to an overall record of 14 victories and two draws in 19 games, amassing more Premier League points than any other club during that time.
"From the first day I arrived, I felt at home at this special club," said Solskjær.
