Offical: Man United appoint Solskjaer on a three-year deal
The Norwegian, 46, arrived at Old Trafford on an interim basis in December to replace Jose Mourinho.
Solskjaer spent 11 seasons as a United player, scoring the winning goal in the 1999 Champions League final.
The news will come as good news to Tottenham fans who look set to keep hold of manager Pochettino, who was reportedly followed by Manchester United and Real Madrid, who has both now appointed new managers.
