In the end, it all proved just a step too far for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. It was a tough sight for supporters, watching their club legend - a man who has brought them so much happiness - look truly beaten after the humiliating 4-1 defeat by Watford.
From there, there was no going back. The confirmation arrived from United and, just as quickly as he was handed the caretaker job in December 2018, Solskjaer was gone. In truth, the writing has been on the wall for quite some time after a 4-0 hammering by rivals Liverpool and some poor results to set them off the pace in the title race.
