Manchester United could be set to call on legendary former striker Ole Gunnar Soskjaer to steer the ship to calmer shores following Jose Mourinho's sackings
MANCHESTER UNITED brought in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as caretaker manager following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
The legendary former Red Devils striker has since enjoyed a remarkable spell at Old Trafford, winning ten out of his 11 games so far.
He takes the role after Mourinho walked away with an eye-watering £24m payoff.
Who is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, 45, was born in Kristiansund, Norway in 1973.
After joining from Norwegian club Molde in 1996, the striker spent eleven years at Old Trafford and netted 126 goals in 366 appearances.
Most famous of all his strikes was his 93rd minute winner against Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final in Barcelona.
With the Germans leading 1-0, Teddy Sheringham equalised one minute into stoppage time before Solskjaer poked home from close range two minutes later to complete a stunning comeback.
