Man Utd's new manager? Ole Gunnar Solskjaer profiled

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the favourite to take charge of Manchester United following the departure of Jose Mourinho from Old Trafford.

The Portuguese’s reign came to an end on Tuesday following a 3-1 loss to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, with the Red Devils left sixth in the Premier League having made their worst start in 28 years, a massive 11 points short of the top four.

A surprising void has appeared at the helm of the first team, and while names such as Zinedine Zidane and Laurent Blanc have been tipped to fill it, Solskjaer leads the race for command, with the 45-year-old set to take charge until at least the end of the season.
