Manchester United to fire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after defeat to Watford
Manchester United will get rid of coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after a crushing defeat to Watford in the English Premier League (Premier League). This is reported by The Sun.
The leadership of the “red devils” held an emergency meeting, following which it was decided to dismiss the Danish specialist. Solskjaer is expected to leave the club in the next 48 hours. The Dane has already said goodbye to the employees of the Mankunians.
Early termination of the contract will cost United nearly 90 million euros. The management is aiming at inviting to the vacant post Zinedine Zidane, known for his work at Real Madrid.
Previously, United lost a lot in the away meeting with Watford. The Red Devils lost 1: 4. The Mancunians are seventh in the Premier League standings after 12 league matches.
Solskjaer is a former United player. He took over in December 2018. Then he was appointed acting. Since March 2019, the Dane has led the team on an ongoing basis.
