Manchester United have sacked manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

The Norwegian had been in charge at Old Trafford for almost three years. However, yesterday's 4-1 Premier League defeat away to Watford proved to be the final straw following a poor run of form.

Former United midfielder Michael Carrick will take charge of the side until a new boss is appointed.

United have won just two of their last eight games.

Names in the frame for Solskjaer's permanent replacement are former Real Madrid player and Manager Zinedine Zidane and Ajax boss Erik Ten Haag.
