Manchester United’s board have agreed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will take charge against Tottenham after he was “supported” in his bid to stay by Sir Alex Ferguson.
Solskjaer was pictured arriving at Carrington on Tuesday morning and the Norwegian coach took training as usual. Ferguson also visited the Manchester United training complex amid mounting pressure on Solskjaer.
Ferguson and the former United chairman Martin Edwards were both in attendance in the wake of United’s 5-0 home mauling by Liverpool on Sunday.
Speculation has been rife that United have been ready to pull the trigger on Solskjaer. However, after a meeting between Joel Glazer and managing director Richard Arnold on Monday evening no decision was made.
The Sun claimed the board were divided over what the best course of action would be. They remain reluctant to sack a club legend, but are aware of the growing discontent among the fanbase.
