Manchester United announced the appointment of former striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as caretaker manager until the end of the season on Wednesday morning, and Red Devils fans were quick to react.

United wielded the axe on Jose Mourinho on Tuesday morning following a disappointing season to date which sees them lie in sixth position in the Premier League, with a goal difference of zero ahead of the busy festive period.

Solskjaer arrives back at Old Trafford on the back of a successful spell in charge of Molde in his homeland, and he has been tasked with turning the club's fortunes around in the coming weeks and months, as well as helping them to see off Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League knockout stages.

Man United supporters took to social media to have their say on the big news, and while one said "he can replace Lukaku upfront as well", another said "do not start Matic, Young, Jones, Fellaini & Smalling".
