The club kept faith with the Norwegian and hoped for a turnaround but saw the club win just once since the 19th of September in the league.

Co-owner, Joel Glazer approved the board’s decision to replace Solskjaer and former United midfielder, Michael Carrick will now be in charge on a temporaray basis.

During his three years stay, he recorded 91 Wins, 40 defeats and 34 draws in 165 games.
