Manchester United Sack Solskjaer, Another Former Red Devils Player Are Taking Over

JAKARTA - Manchester United finally decided to sack Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. Now reportedly another former player will take over the coaching position of Solksjaer.

Solksjaer's dismissal was announced by Fabrizio Romano, an Italian journalist. The decision to sack Solksjaer came after the club board held a five-hour meeting.

It is difficult for United to immediately get a new coach, given the tight schedule of matches. On Wednesday, November 24, United will face Villarreal in the Champions League.

British journalist Samuel Luckhurst says former United player Darren Fletcher will take over from Solksjaer's interim position. Previously Fletcher held the position of Technical Director of United.

"Darren Fletcher is expected to be a caretaker coach," Samuel Luckhurst wrote on Twitter.

The same report was delivered by The Athletic, British media. According to them, Fletcher will be assisted by Michael Carrick until a new permanent coach is found.
