Funniest thing about the appointment is United are actually borrowing - yes, borrowing - Solskjaer until the end of the season and then give him back to Molde. United - one of the biggest clubs in the world - have resorted to borrowing manager from others. 

Seriously, they're borrowing him? HAHAHA

The worrying thing is, they are putting OGS in charge when he should be starting ahead of Lukaku

Obviously but this is United we're talking about. Them signing a manager on loan is rather embarrassing.

For me it actually makes sense financially. There is no rush for them and they clearly want Potch. I pray they dont get him... that would be a match made to marry.

Supposedly tho didn't Poch accept the RM job in the summer with Levy stepping in to stop it? This is the perfect opportunity to do it. Take Kane with him. Win Win for us.

Are you taking the piss? Which part of my posts did you not get?  Yes, I know they want to get someone in on an interim basis so they can buy themselves time to evaluate their options for the summer. If they had gone for someone out of job, someone from within the club or who's coaching a national team, then sure, that's normal. But no, they went for someone who's in contract with another club until 2021, borrow him until May and then give him back. This has rarely happened? For a club of United's stature to be doing things like this is embarrassing, regardless of the reasoning.

Yup. The Norwegian league season has ended but it will start again in March and Solskjaer will only return in May.

He has temporarily left his job in charge of Molde in his homeland and will take charge of his first game on Saturday at Cardiff, where he was sacked as manager in 2014. He had a spell as reserve-team manager at United between 2008 and 2011.

Molde have confirmed Solskjaer will return to the club in the summer after recently signing a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2021.

"The fact that Manchester United are asking Molde FK to borrow our manager is in itself an event and not least a statement of trust in both Ole Gunnar and Molde FK," Molde chief executive Oystein Neerland said in a club statement. "We are happy to lend Ole Gunnar, we wish both him and the club success.

I got your post mate and I still don't think it's embarassing. Calm down! Jeez.

They must be really thick to think people won't notice and report... Its sad people have had to issue statements to tell fans/people to stop.

6 months HMP would suit that cunt well

[Fulham Broadway 16,827]

Dean Saunders -you can take the cunt out of Liverpool, but can't take the Liverpool out of a cunt...saying how great a chance United have of signing Kante as he's unhappy at Chelsea. Must have missed the contract extension a few weeks back.

i swear some of these so called pundits sure do say a lot of crap, what a joke of a quote.

I see Dele Alli was hit by a bottle last night during the game. With Sherwood kneejerk reaction saying the OB should surround the pitch to stop things like that happening! TWAT!

Wonder wjat the media/FA will have to say about that!
