Ole Gunnar Solskjaer signs Manchester United contract extension until 2024

The Norwegian first signed in 2019 and will now be under pressure to deliver some silverware

“Everyone knows the feeling I have for this club, and I am delighted to have signed this new contract.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has signed a three-year contract extension with Manchester United with an option for a further year.

Solskjaer, 48, was initially appointed interim manager after taking over from Jose Mourinho in December 2018. After a string of impressive results, he was given the role on a permanent basis in March 2019 and penned a three-year deal.

Last season, the Norwegian guided United to a second-place finish in the league as well as the Europa League final, where they lost to Villarreal on penalties.

Solskjaer told the club website: “Everyone knows the feeling I have for this club, and I am delighted to have signed this new contract. It is an exciting time for Manchester United, we have built a squad with a good balance of youth and experienced players that are hungry for success."
