According to the British media, the decision had already been made on Saturday evening in a crisis meeting of those responsible, which was convened after the 1: 4 embarrassment at the relegation candidate Watford. It was the fifth loss for United in seven league games. The British Times and the Guardian, among others, had reported after the game in Watford about the end for Solskjaer, who was already counted after the defeats at home against Liverpool (0: 5) and Manchester City (0: 2).
The 48-year-old Norwegian, who chased goals as a player for the Red Devils from 1996 to 2007, took over as coach in December 2018. He was runner-up with the team last season. His contract, which was originally valid until 2022, was only extended to 2024 in the summer. He couldn’t win a trophy with the club.
The desired successor is allegedly Zinedine Zidane. According to a report in the Sunday Times, the record champions are said to have approached the Frenchman earlier, who won the Champions League three times as coach with Real Madrid. Zidane is currently on sabbatical. The United bosses should now be ready to increase their offer again.
