Solskjær scored 126 goals in 366 appearances for United between
1996 and 2007. In 2008 he became the club’s reserve-team manager, before taking
the managerial role at FC Molde in Norway.
Solskjær will take charge of the first team with immediate
effect and will remain in place while the club conducts a thorough recruitment
process for a new full-time manager. He will be joined by Mike Phelan as
first-team coach, working alongside Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna.
“Manchester United is in my heart and it’s
brilliant to be coming back in this role. I’m really looking forward to working
with the very talented squad we have, the staff and everyone at the club,” Said
Solskjær.
