Former Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is being considered as caretaker manager at Manchester United following the sacking of Jose Mourinho. Manchester United say they have sacked Mourinho after identifying a plethora of his failings at the club.
The 55 year old Portugese took over in May 2016 and led the club to League Cup and Europa League titles, but they are 19 points behind league leaders Liverpool in the English Premier League. The club has made a change after no progress with results or style despite spending nearly £400 million on 11 players.
They also say the new manager will understand the philosophy of the club, including their attacking tradition. It stated that players and staff are not happy after a disappointing and unsettling period during which young players were not developed. United are sixth in the Premier League, but closer to the relegation zone than to leaders Liverpool, who beat them 3-1 on Sunday to leave them 19 points adrift of the leaders.
