We knew this was coming all along, it was only a matter of when? Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been sacked as the manager of Manchester United following the club's 4 - 1 defeat to Watford.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has left Manchester United as manager after the club’s 4-1 loss at Watford, a club statement said on Sunday. Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho as United boss, initially on a temporary basis, in December 2018 and presided over 168 games. During that time United spent £376 million on new players, according to The Independent, and finished 6th, 3rd and 2nd in the Premier League. But defeat in the final of the 2021 Europa League was the closest they came to lifting a trophy under his watch. Michael Carrick will serve as United’s interim manager until a full-time appointment is announced, the club has said. Keep it here for all the reactions and further developments.
The clubs full statement read thus:
Quote
Manchester United announces that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has left his role as Manager.
Ole will always be a legend at Manchester United and it is with regret that we have reached this difficult decision. While the past few weeks have been disappointing, they should not obscure all the work he has done over the past three years to rebuild the foundations for long-term success.
Ole leaves with our sincerest thanks for his tireless efforts as Manager and our very best wishes for the future. His place in the club's history will always be secure, not just for his story as a player, but as a great man and a Manager who gave us many great moments. He will forever be welcome back at Old Trafford as part of the Manchester United family.
Michael Carrick will now take charge of the team for forthcoming games, while the club looks to appoint an interim Manager to the end of the season.
