Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ed Woodward arrive at Manchester United training ground

Ole Gunnar Solskajer and Ed Woodward have arrived at Manchester United's training ground this morning.

Solskjaer arrived at 9am and waved for what could be his final appearance at United's Carrington training complex. The outgoing executive vice-chairman Woodward attempted to hide from photographers.

Woodward was informed by his photographers and advised to duck but was still photographed.

The Manchester Evening News revealed on Saturday night United had earmarked Darren Fletcher to take interim charge and Fletcher also drove into Carrington this morning.

United are understood to have finalised a compensation package of £7.75million for Solskjaer, who only signed a new three-year contract in July.

Woodward has seldom appeared in Manchester over the last year but has arrived at United's Carrington training complex ahead of Solskjaer's expected sacking.

Solskjaer briefly stopped to speak to someone as he approached the entrance and his mood was described as 'cheerful'.

United players have also reported for recovery and training sessions following the 4-1 thumping by Watford that has prompted the club to change sack Solskjaer sooner than intended.
