Manchester United accidentally unveil new manager as replacement for Mourinho

Former Manchester United player Ole Gunnar Solksjaer has been accidentally unveiled as the club's interim manager, following the departure of ex-manager Jose Mourinho from Old Trafford.

Mourinho was sacked after two-and-a-half years at the club on Tuesday, November 18, after loosing 3-1 to Liverpool at Anfield, over the weekend.

According to Sky Sports, the news was broken in the caption of a video, which was titled The Most Famous Night of Ole's Career, buried in the club's online library.

The video was captioned: "Solskjaer becomes our interim manager, 20 seasons after clinching the treble with that goal at camp Nou."

However it has since been removed from the website.

Reports coming in from Old Trafford suggest he has been considered as the ideal man to replace Mourinho on an interim basis until the end of the season..

Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg also prematurely congratulated her compatriot on his new appointment before hastily deleting her tweet on Tuesday evening.

"Great day for Norwegian football. good luck keeping control of the Red Devils, Ole Gunner Solkjaer," she tweeted.

The Norwegian managed United's reserve side from 2008 for two years before leaving for Molde where he has just extended his contract with the Norweigian side until 2021.

Solksjaer made 235 appearances for the Red Devils and scored 91 goals in that period.

And of course, no United fan can forget his injury-time winner in the 1999 Champions League final against Bayern Munich.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Manchester United sacked Jose Mourinho barely three years in charge at the Theatre of Dreams.

United have recorded poor strings of results all through their campaign including their 3-1 bashing at the hands of Liverpool at Anfield last weekend.

Mourinho's assistant and former captain Micheal Carrick is reportedly going to be in charge until a new manager is appointed.
