Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 'to be awarded bumper new £10m-a-year contract by Manchester United even if they fail to win a trophy this season'... with chief Ed Woodward 'convinced' he is the right man to take the club forward

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to be rewarded for Manchester United's progress with a bumper new three-year, £10million-a-season contract - regardless of whether they win a trophy in the coming months.

United are in the quarter-finals of the Europa League and are the bookies' favourites to lift the trophy after their impressive victory over AC Milan in the last round.

But the Mirror report that Solskjaer's future is not dependent on trophies, with the manager set to be offered a huge new contract irrespective of how the season ends.
