Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was unveiled as Manchester United’s new caretaker manager in front of the national press at the club’s Carrington training ground on Friday morning, following Jose Mourinho’s dismissal earlier this week.
Solskjaer takes temporary charge of United until the end of the season, when he is expected to return to Molde in his native Norway. The 45-year-old’s first game comes away to former club Cardiff City on Saturday. United currently sit sixth in the Premier League table, 11 points adrift of the top four.
The Norwegian, who scored 91 goals in 235 United appearances as a player, began work on Thursday. Solskjaer hopes to get his players enjoying their football again and has promised every member of his squad will be given “a clean slate” over the coming weeks and months.
