Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's reign as Manchester United boss came to an end over the weekend after the Norwegian oversaw a 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Watford.
United confirmed that Solskjaer's three-year stint at Old Trafford was over on Sunday in light of the club sitting eighth in the Premier League following the rout at Vicarage Road.
Josh King and Ismaila Sarr put the Hornets two up at the break, though Donny van de Beek halved the deficit after half-time.

But Harry Maguire was given his marching orders after receiving a second yellow card before Joao Pedro and Dennis completed the big win for the hosts.
The job at Old Trafford was his second in English football after a stint in charge of Cardiff City in 2014 - but his first job in English football come have come at Bolton Wanderers.
Solskjaer was linked with the Wanderers job after Owen Coyle's dismissal in 2012 and the then-Molde manager publicly ruled himself out of the running for the vacancy at the time, which later went to Dougie Freedman.
Solskjaer told the Norwegian newspaper Romsdals Budstikke at the time: "There will always be speculation when someone in England needs a new manager.
"There are surely 20 names who have been linked with Bolton now and it's natural that mine is among them. But it's not for me.
"Blackburn, Bolton, rumours crop up all the time. But I'm not that bothered about them. I'm absolutely certain I will see out the season here [with Molde], I can promise that."
Wanderers missed out on the play-offs that season in the Championship under Freedman on goal difference to Leicester City, ensuring there would be no immediate return back to the Premier League following relegation in 2012.
