Manchester United have confirmed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their new permanent boss on a three-year deal.
Solskajer was in charge in a caretaker capacity, having taking over in December following Jose Mourinho's sacking.
But the impact he has made, winning 14 of his 19 games, hauling United back into the top-four race and into the last eight of the Champions League, convinced the Old Trafford hierarchy to give him the job full-time.
“From the first day I arrived, I felt at home at this special club,” said Solskjaer.
“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.”
Ed Woodward, Executive Vice Chairman, said: “Since coming in as caretaker manager in December, the results Ole has delivered speak for themselves.

“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.”
