Following a resurgence of Manchester United since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over as a caretaker from Mourinho in December, the Norwegian is set to take the role on a permanent basis.

United have won 10 of the Norwegian’s 11 matches in charge, becoming United’s first manager of the month since Sir Alex Ferguson and favorite to get the job permanently.

According to Sunsports, the decision to appoint Ole Gunnar the full-time manager at Manchester United has been made at board level, although the club may not announce it until the end of the season.

United are publicly indicating that the search for Jose Mourinho’s permanent successor remains ongoing probably to gauge him on what  happens in their next fixtures.

They will be starting against Paris St-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday which will probably determine whether the 45-year-old Norwegian gets the job of replacing Mourinho full-time.

His appointment will end speculation that Mauricio Pochettino, who was highly linked to take over,  could be tempted away from Spurs to Old Trafford next summer.

United’s co-chairmen Joel and Avram Glazer are convinced they have the right man in Solskjaer.

While speaking to Sky Sports ahead of the Fulham match, Solskjaer insisted that he was not thinking of his long-term future, but indicated the main assignment that he was given when he arrived to replace Jose Mourinho two months ago was to get the mood back and get results.

“It’s not about making a case for me to stay,” Ole said. “Of course Manchester United is the place to be, everyone wants to be here and would love it.”

“But my job description was, until the summer, get us playing in a certain way, get the mood back, get results – of course, I love every single minute of it and I’ll take whatever comes when it comes,” he added.

“It’s not just about putting smiles on faces, but that is a big part of it. Making sure you come into training looking forward to the next day and enjoy what you’re doing. That’s what we’re trying to do at the moment.
