\"OleThere were rumours that Manchester United were going to bring in Norwegian Ole Gunnar Solskj\u00e6r<\/strong> as a replacement for manager Jos\u00e9 Mourinho whom the club fired on Tuesday<\/a>. It has now been confirmed that Solskj\u00e6r will be the manager till the end of this season whilst the club search for their next full term appointment. <\/p>\n

There is tremendous pressure being the manager of one of the biggest and most popular football franchises in the world. <\/p>\n

The Red Devils hired Sir Alex Ferguson<\/a> as their manager in 1986 and he was in the role for over 26 years until he retired. Since then, Man United has hired three permanent managers, David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jos\u00e9 Mourinho<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There were quite a few candidates in the running for the job but Solskj\u00e6r was always a favourite because he has spent time with Manchester United in the past as both player and coach. The Norwegian joined Man United as a player back in 1996 and was famous for coming off the bench late in the game and scoring. During his time with Man United he played a total of 366 games and scored 126 goals<\/strong>. <\/p>\n
