Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to leave his role as Manchester United manager after nearly three years in charge, having initially taken over on an interim basis in 2018 following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
After two seasons of steady progression, the Old Trafford club has taken a huge step backward this campaign and currently sit with a measly 17 points after 12 Premier League games.
Journalist and transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano confirmed Solskjaer’s fate as United boss earlier on Sunday, claiming that his reign at the club was ‘over’. Now, speculation over Solskjaer’s replacement is set to ramp up.
According to The Athletic journalist Laurie Whitwell, Darren Fletcher is set to take charge of the side for Tuesday’s Champions League game against Villarreal, with plans over the Norwegian’s long-term replacement still being drawn up.
