Manchester United have appointed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their permanent manager on a three-year contract, the Premier League club said on Thursday.
The 46-year-old Norwegian has guided United to 14 wins in 19 matches in all competitions as caretaker boss since replacing the sacked Jose Mourinho in December.Initially viewed as purely a stop-gap option while the club searched for a high-profile established manager, with Tottenham Hotspur's boss Mauricio Pochettino widely reported to be their main target, the former United striker has exceeded all expectations and now has his reward.
After instantly turning around United's form - they have won 10 of their 13 Premier League games since he was appointed - Solskjaer sealed his job with the dramatic comeback win at French champions Paris St Germain which earned the club a Champions League quarter-final with Barcelona.His positive approach to the players, supported by Alex Ferguson's former assistant Mike Phelan, resulted in a transformation of the mood around Old Trafford and the club's Carrington training ground.
But for England's most successful club, with a record 20 domestic titles, Solskjaer also had to get the club used to winning again.
