EPL: Solskjaer hints at becoming Man Utd’s next manager

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has joked it will be “strange” if he does not get the Manchester United job permanently, after being involved in a promotional video for next season.

Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho in December, taking over on a caretaker basis, while the club carry out a thorough recruitment process.

Although Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was touted as the ‘outstanding’ candidate, the Norwegian is now favourite to continue, after leading United to 12 wins in 15 matches.

Asked if fans deserve an update on the next manager before buying tickets for the new campaign, Solskjaer told Sky Sports: “I’ve done a video shoot on season tickets so I’m pleading with them to get their season tickets!

“It will be strange to see myself in a video if I’m not here. It’s not strange doing it, though.

“My kids if they see a commercial with me in it and I’m back home in Norway – that will be strange.

“It’s just part of it being here doing a commercial. As a player as well, [you do one] then suddenly you’re not here anymore and you see your picture.”
