Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has resigned.

Manchester United announced in a statement on Sunday (November 21) that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had resigned as manager.

The statement read, "Ole will always be a legend at Manchester United and it is with regret that we have reached this difficult decision. While the past few weeks have been disappointing, they should not obscure all the work he has done over the past three years to rebuild the foundations for long-term success."

"Ole leaves with our sincerest thanks for his tireless efforts as Manager and our very best wishes for the future. His place in the club's history will always be secure, not just for his story as a player, but as a great man and a Manager who gave us many great moments. He will forever be welcome back at Old Trafford as part of the Manchester United family," the statement further said.

Michael Carrick will now assume charge of the team for the remainder of the season while the club searches for an interim manager.
