Manchester United have confirmed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their new manager on a three-year contract.
The Norwegian replaced Jose Mourinho in December as caretaker boss initially until the end of the season.
He was then due to return to Molde but United's form has meant he has now been given the job on a full-time basis.
Since returning to Old Trafford, Solskjaer has won 14 of his 19 games in charge, losing just three times.
He has led the Red Devils to within two points of the top four and the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
As a player, Solskjaer scored 126 goals in 366 appearances for United.
In a statement, Solskjaer said: “From the first day I arrived, I felt at home at this special club. 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.
"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.”
Old Trafford chief Ed Woodward added: "Since coming in as caretaker manager in December, the results Ole has delivered speak for themselves.
“More than just performances and results, Ole brings a wealth of experience, both as a player and as a coach, coupled with a desire to give young players their chance and a deep understanding of the culture of the club.
"This all means that he is the right person to take Manchester United forward.
“I want to thank Ole and the coaching team for everything they have done so far and congratulate him on this richly deserved appointment.
"The fans and everyone at the club are behind him as he looks to take us where we need to be and build the next stage of our history.”
