Didn't have a awful time at Cardiff, not seeing he has the skills for this

Solskjaer was quite bad at Cardiff, but whatever, between he and Phelan think they can at least provide competence. Mourinho has also done a great job lowering expectations. All the rest of the season is really about is seeing if there are any players that, outside the shadow of Mou, can be counted on for next year.

Mou won two trophies with UTD. It's a disgrace that he has not been give the time to get this team playing his brand of brilliant football.

Phelan is crucial to be a force behind any romance that may come from Solskjaer.

You can't be mad even if others are taking the piss. There's very little choice for caretakers and the number one goal here had to be bringing back fan happiness.

The season is already over. No pressure.

I agree, this appointment is Utd writing the season off, but it cost them 10m to sack Mourinho, will be 3 times that to get Potectino

Bruce should get a shot at it. Or Allardyce. They may not have won anything like Moyes, but they're also winners.

Poch got sacked from Espanyol when they were bottom

Solskjaer's Cardiff were genuinely mince, so I'm interested to see how it goes.

Plenty of clubs are looking at that sixth spot very carefully now.

That's pocket change to United.

They let Mou spend £61m on Fred.

This is a big misconception by the fans, one I don't understand how it still slides. Mou had little to no say in transfers. It's more like he and his team identify a kind of player for a certain position, and then the board does what it wants. This is not football manager.

Not many managers have the career path of PL relegation, Molde then Utd, so I get the confusion around it. Someone mentioned earlier that Poch and Klopp either had teams relegated or bottom of the table, but they went and proved themselves at other clubs. Dunno what Ole has done other than be someone who'll get goodwill from fans

Will be interesting to see how Solskjaer does, he doesn't have much to lose. Just has take us through to end of season.

Phelan might have more of an effect than him.

When United sack Mourinho apparently the club valuation went up like £100m+ on the stock market. So whatever it cost to sack him just doesn't really matter.

Fucking hell. Has sacking a manager ever increased stocks that much before?

Manchester United's share price increased by nearly six per cent after Jose Mourinho was sacked as the club's manager.

The Portuguese's two-and-a-half-year reign came to an end on Tuesday morning, and share prices in Manchester United plc rose on the New York Stock Exchange later on in the day.

After closing at 17.30 US dollars (£13.65) on Monday, the share price steadily increased to 18.39 (£14.51).

It was some financial person on Sky News that calculated the real term gain to be something like £120m.
