THE RED DEVILS FOUNDED: 1902
ENGLAND’S MOST DECORATED FOOTBALL CLUB
The manager Since taking over from José Mourinho in December of last year, Ole Gunnar Solskjær has won 26 points in his 10 Premier League games as United caretaker manager, and the club remain contenders in the FA Cup and Champions League. He is on managerial loan from Molde FK until the end of the season, but the Norweigan will have his sights firmly set on securing a longer-term deal at the club where he made his name as a prolific striker with 126 goals in 366 appearances. Aside from two stints as Molde FK boss, Solkjær previously managed Cardiff City and United’s U23s.
Club legend Ferguson is widely considered as the greatest manager of all time, having led United between 1986 to 2013, winning an unprecedented 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles. Bidding farewell, fittingly, with a league title under his arm, United have since struggled to find a stable replacement, with David Moyes, Ryan Giggs (albeit as caretaker), Louis van Gaal and Mourinho falling by the wayside. Ferguson remains at the club in an ambassadorial and advisory capacity, and was reportedly instrumental in Solskjær’s appointment.
