Manchester United fire brigade manager with seven clubs in the Premier League

Manchester United fire brigade manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after a 1:4 defeat on Saturday at Watford. First team manager Michael Carrick has been hired. While United is looking for an interim manager until the end of the season. The club’s recent poor form includes a 5-0 loss to Liverpool on 24 October. And a 2-0 loss to Manchester City on 6 November.

United added: “While the last few weeks have been disappointing. They must not cover all the work he has done in the previous three years to rebuild the foundations for long-term success. “Ole leaves with our most sincere thanks for his tireless efforts as manager and our best wishes for the future.”

Solskjaer is a former Red Devils player who scored 126 goals in 11 seasons from 1996 to 2007, including winning the 1999 Champions League final.

United said in a statement. His place in the club’s history will always be specific. Not only because of his history as a player but also. As a great man and manager who has given us many great moments. “He will forever be welcome at Old Trafford as part of the Manchester United family.”

United’s next game is when they travel to Spain on Tuesday to face Villarreal in the Champions League ahead of league games against Chelsea and Arsenal. Darren Fletcher will remain technical director. While Mike Phelan and Kieran McKenna, part of Solskjaer’s coaching staff, will temporarily stay with the club.

Former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane, who is currently unemployed, is the bookie’s favorite to become United’s next manager. The Norwegian then landed a full-time position on a three-year contract in March 2019 and signed a new contract with the club from July to 2024.

Solskjaer has become United’s fourth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson’s resignation in 2013. And has outlasted his more experienced predecessors David Moyes, Luis van Gaal and Mourinho.

But after United finished second in the Premier League last May – 12 points behind champions Manchester City. And lost in the Europa League final to Villarreal on penalties, it was decided that Solskjaer needed a trophy this season to win Work to stay.
