Manchester United have reportedly agreed to sack manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer.

It follows their humiliating 4-1 EPL defeat to Watford last night which left them with just one win in their last seven league games.

Multiple sources say the board has agreed to dismiss Ole, but are finalising some details before an official announcement is made.

Its believed that assistant coach Michael Carrick and technical director Darren Fletcher could be put in charge temporarily, until a permanent replacement is found.

Brendan Rodgers, Mauricio Pochettino and even Zinedine Zidane are some of the names who’ve recently been linked with the United job.
