Multiple sources have confirmed that Manchester United have sacked Solskjaer and are finalising the Norwegian’s compensation package of around £7.75million.
United have downplayed speculation linking Zinedine Zidane with the manager’s role and sources have suggested the Zidane links have been a tactic to appease an increasingly frustrated Cristiano Ronaldo.
It is understood Ronaldo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, sought reassurances from the United board that decisive action would be taken at managerial level shortly after the Watford humbling.
The Club is also understood to be considering Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers.
