Man Utd have officially confirmed that they’ve appointed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their caretaker boss until the end of the season after sacking Jose Mourinho.
As noted in their official statement, the Red Devils opted to sack Mourinho on Tuesday after a bitterly disappointing first half of the season.
The Portuguese tactician leaves the club in sixth place in the Premier League table, 11 points adrift of the top four while they sit 19 points behind league leaders Liverpool.
With that in mind, results were simply unacceptable, and with a Champions League tie with Paris Saint-Germain ahead in February, the hierarchy evidently felt as though it was the right time for a change now following Sunday’s defeat to Liverpool.
