Gary Neville has questioned Manchester United's decision not to announce Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their next manager during the international break.
Solskjaer, appointed as interim manager following Jose Mourinho's sacking in December, has won 14 of the 19 games he has presided over since and guided United to the brink of the top four and into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
He is now odds-on favourite to be given the job on a full-time basis with many, Neville included, believing the club would make an announcement sooner rather than later.
However, as of Thursday morning, the club are yet to have done so.
"I thought United would take the international break to appoint Ole. I’m not sure what the plan is now!," Neville wrote on Twitter.
"Games coming thick and fast so no ideal time to announce without a big distraction to matches.
"Let’s hope for a snap announcement today!!"
Neville has been a vocal advocate of Solskjaer's candidacy recently suggesting there would be a "mutiny" should the club go down another route.
“I don’t think you can give it to someone else, otherwise there would be mutiny. The fans were singing for him," he said last month. “I think it’s very close now – I can’t see the club going away from it.
“We learnt a lot about the mood of the club in that second half.
“Three months ago they were singing ‘attack, attack, attack’ and today they were singing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s name for all of the second half.
Former teammate Andy Cole is the latest big name to call on United to bite the bullet and announce the Norwegian's appointment.
"I would give him the job," he said.
"When he came to the club I could see why they were doing it, but we've got to be all brutally honest - I don't think anyone could have sat here and said he would do as well as he has.
"He has gone in, he has galvanised the club, they've got results at the right time."
