Manchester United have announced that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has left his role as manager and will be replaced in the interim by Michael Carrick
In a statement just released following an emergency board meeting after yesterday’s 4-1 defeat at Watford the club said:
Ole leaves with our sincerest thanks for his tireless efforts as Manager and our very best wishes for the future. His place in the club’s history will always be secure, not just for his story as a player, but as a great man and a Manager who gave us many great moments. He will forever be welcome back at Old Trafford as part of the Manchester United family.
Michael Carrick will now take charge of the team for forthcoming games, while the club looks to appoint an interim manager to the end of the season.
