Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sacked - LIVE!
Manchester United have sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following a run of heavy defeats, with Saturday’s 4-1 loss away to Watford proving to be his final match in charge.
The Norwegian has been under huge pressure in recent weeks, with defeats to Liverpool and Man City leading to calls from many fans for the club to make the change.
They decided not to do so over the international break, suggesting Solskjaer had the backing of the board despite the poor form.
But the manner of the Watford defeat could not be ignored, with the United hierarchy meeting in the hours following the match to make the decision.
Attention will now turn to appointing Solskjaer’s successor, with Brendan Rodgers and Zinedine Zidane likely to be the early favourites for the job, now that Tottenham have secured the services of Antonio Conte.
