Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should be named Manchester United boss - Giggs

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should be named permanent Manchester United manager according to former team-mate Ryan Giggs, who insists the Premier League club have "messed around far too long".

Solskjaer was appointed on a caretaker basis until the end of the season after Jose Mourinho was sacked in December and the Norwegian favourite has rejuvenated United.

United have only lost one of their 12 matches under Solskjaer in all competitions - winning 10 - to be fourth in the Premier League as they prepare to face Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Monday.
