BREAKING: Man Utd sack Solskjaer after shameful defeat to Watford
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been relieved of his duties as Manchester United’s manager. After coming to take the job as the head manager in 2018, Ole did make some considerable progress with the squad but he didn’t win any important silverware.
The latest development is yet to be confirmed by the club officially.
Popular football pundit, Fabrizio Romano revealed this via Twitter on Sunday morning.
He wrote:
“Manchester United board decision to sack Ole Gunnar Solskjær has been also approved by Glazer. It’s over. #MUFC”
“Official statement in place, mutual agreement reached to respect Ole and part ways.”
“Fletcher-Carrick now ready as interim solution if no instant solution is found.”
Once more key players who performed at the highest level arrived, many of his inconsistencies as a coach began emerging. From the moment the season started, it was clear that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was way in over his head with dismal results against any club throughout every tournament.
Earlier today, a bad result against Watford after the international break would surely bring his tenure to a bitter end. After a 4-1 loss, Solskjaer approached the fans to offer his apologies for the result knowing his fate was probably sealed.
The board of directors called for an emergency meeting to reach the terms of Solskjaer’s exit from the club. After five hours of talks, they came out with the decision to relieve Ole from his managerial duties.
Fabrizio Romano was the first one who broke the news, Solskjaer won’t continue as Manchester United’s manager. While options are considered, Darren Fletcher is expected to take the job as interim manager.
