Official: Ole Gunnar solksjaer given a new role by Manchester United board after being Sacked as he is spotted in old trafford.

 

Former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar 

Solskjaer has returned following his 

departure from the club last year.

The Norwegian was dismissed following 

United's 4-1 defeat to Watford in November

and posed for a picture alongside 

women's U21 star Maria Edwards last

night.

Solskjaer's daughter, Karna, was among

the scorers yesterday evening, as 

the 48-year-old watched United run 

out 5-0 winners over Aston Villa.

Solskjaer admitted he was looking 

forward to spending time with his family

after his magnanimous departure from 

the club, though is clearly a keen follower

of his daughter's fortunes, as well 

as those of the club he loves.

United's men's first team have improved

slightly under interim boss Ralf Rangnick

— as they climbed back into the top 

four for the first time since October 

just last weekend.

With his name still ringing out across 

the terraces at Old Trafford, most fans 

are still in appreciation for a man who 

rebuilt United after the Jose Mourinho

era.

Settling for third in 2019-20, before finishing

runners-up to Manchester City last season

, most will remember the disappointing 

penalty shootout defeat to Villarreal in 

the Europa League final in May last year 

as a sliding doors moment in 

Solskjaer's tenure.

The Norwegian achieved a win percentage

of 54.2 per cent — just shy of Mourinho's

58.3 per cent — and did bring back 

an exciting attacking mentality to Old 

Trafford.

He also brought Cristiano Ronaldo 

back to the club and signed the talismanic

Bruno Fernandes and club captain 

Harry Maguire.
