MU appoints Solskjaer as long-term coach

The Red Devils' board of directors has just agreed on a plan to choose Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the official head coach of MU from next season.

SunSport sources said the decision was approved by MU bosses at a recent meeting. However, the club will only officially announce Solskjaer's appointment at the end of the 2018/19 season.

Avram Glazer watched the 3-0 win at Fulham last weekend and also chatted with the Norwegian in the dressing room at Craven Cottage.

Chairing the Red Devils' Board of Directors meeting the next day, Avram Glazer and key members unanimously agreed that Solskjaer was the most suitable person to lead MU in the future.

In the next few days, MU will work with Solskjaer's representative - Mr. Jim Solbakken to negotiate a 3-year contract. To have Solskjaer's long-term service, the Manchester team must pay Molde Club (Norway) 8 million pounds in compensation.

MU signs 5-year deal with French football "gem"

Bild (Germany) reported that MU has reached a preliminary agreement with RB Leipzig center-back Dayot Upamecano. Accordingly, the two sides have agreed on the transfer terms in the summer of 2019 for a 5-year contract. The remaining task for MU is to convince RB Leipzig to release the player.

Upamecano, 20, is a rising talent in French football. Despite his young age, this player has played a pivotal role in the Bundesliga team's defense. Upamecano's contract release fee is currently up to 100 million euros. If he really accepts to spend a lot, MU will break the record that Liverpool set with Virgil van Dijk.
