And Manchester United striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, published a picture with the coach, with a post that read: “I wish you good luck, my friend, you deserve it.”
Ronaldo added: “Ole is a wonderful person, and I wish him the best always wherever he goes.”
The Portuguese star indicated that “I played with Solskjaer when I made my debut for Old Trafford, and he supervised our training when I came back to United.”
The “Red Devils” sacked Solskjaer due to poor results, Sunday, one day after the team’s 4-1 defeat against the newcomer Watford, which caused it to drop to seventh place among the “Premier League” teams.
Solskjaer had extended his contract with United for three years until 2024 last July, but was expelled from his position after United lost five of their last seven league matches.
United said in a statement: “Manchester United announces that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is relinquishing his position as coach of the club. Ole will remain a legend for Manchester United and we regret having had to make this difficult decision.”
“While the results in the past few weeks have been disappointing, we should not lose sight of the work Solskjaer has done over the past three years in re-laying the foundations required for long-term success,” the club’s statement said.
Former player Michael Carrick, a member of Solskjaer’s technical staff, took charge of coaching the team in its next Champions League match away to Villarreal next Tuesday, while the club said it would appoint an interim coach to lead the team until the end of the current season.
United have not won the Premier League title since 2013, the last season of former coach Alex Ferguson, who led the team to win the league title 13 times.
