Manchester United chief has remained mum on the speculations that have been going around that Solskjaer has already been appointed as permanent manager.
However, claims continue to spread that United could appoint Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their permanent manager as early as this week.
Solskjaer has been serving as United’s interim replacement for Jose Mourinho since December, and has been a huge success.
The Norwegian has won 14 of his 19 games in charge, bringing United back into contention to finish in the Premier League’s top four, while also guiding them past Paris Saint-Germain and into the Champions League quarter-finals.
But doubts have been expressed over his long-term suitability after the first consecutive defeats of his reign against Arsenal and Wolves.
Despite those setbacks, one English publication claims that United are set on installing the former player as their new permanent manager, and could do so ‘this week’.
United ‘were remaining tight-lipped’ on the speculation on Monday evening, with the club likely to pay Solskjaer’s former club Molde around £7m for letting him go.
The Red Devils ‘have always maintained’ that they would decide Mourinho’s full-time successor before the end of the season, ‘but an announcement could come earlier to end any speculation’.
