Manchester United could end up appointing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their permanent manager before the end of the season if the latest gossip on the Norwegian's future is to be believed.
It was always United's intention that no managerial announcement would be made before the end of the campaign, with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward reiterating that stance just last month when he spoke to investors following the release of the latest quarterly financial results.
But pressure is building for Solskjaer, who was appointed on a short-term interim contract when he succeeded Jose Mourinho in December, to be confirmed in the role as soon as possible.
