Solskjaer free to accept Man United job on a permanent basis next season
Manchester United’s caretaker manager and club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has told Ed Woodward and the board that he will be happy to take up the job on a permanent basis next season if the chance arises.
Solskjaer is currently in charge on a temporary basis till the end of the season following the sacking of Jose Mourinho and has got off to a bright start, getting the team back on track with three consecutive victories against Cardiff City, Huddersfield Town and Bournemouth.
In an interview with Sky Sports, the 45-year-old said: “My job is for the next five months, because I’m going to leave them to someone else when they come in.
“That’s the plan and that’s what my job is at the moment, it runs out at the end of May – actually the end of June but we don’t play many games in June – so my job is to affect the players on what it is all about at Manchester United.
“You’re always ambitious of course, but as I’ve told Ed [Woodward, United chief executive] and the owners, I’m here to do as well as I can and, if in May you decide someone else will be coming in, then fantastic, and if you decide it’s me, I’m sure we will agree.”
