Man Utd news LIVE: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first press conference as United manager - every word

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been appointed Manchester United's full-time manager on a three-year contract, the club have announced.

Solskjaer, who scored 126 goals in 366 appearances for United, was already a hero to fans as the man who scored the stoppage-time winner in the 1999 Champions League final to complete the treble.

And it is some of the those late-game heroics that Solskjaer has restored to United's play, most notably with Marcus Rashford's last-minute penalty securing their Champions League win over PSG at the start of the month.

After Mourinho was sacked following a 3-1 loss to Liverpool on December 16, Solskjaer initially arrived from Molde 'on loan' until the end of the season.

The Norwegian club had been adamant he would return to his job there with United poised to look elsewhere for a permanent boss, but Solskjaer's results were impossible to ignore and former players had been queueing up to call for his appointment.
