His reputation subsequently earned him the Old Trafford job in 2018 after Jose Mourinho was sacked, with the 48-year-old given the role permanently after impressing in his early months.

During his tenure, the Red Devils made solid progress under him as they finished second and third during his two full seasons in charge.

However, after signing the likes of Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo during the summer, the Norwegian was unable to get the best from his players and was subsequently sacked.

Despite his brutal sacking, Solskjaer has shown his class side after sending staff at the club early Christmas gifts.

It was reported people at Carrington were surprised when hampers containing gifts arrived, with the sacked manager behind the kind gesture.

The move is said to have sparked an ‘emotional’ reaction, with recipients of the gifts hailing Solskjaer for his generosity.
