Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan wants Molde coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as his next manager.

The 40-year-old is understood to have some reservations about the post, which Cardiff's chairman Mehmet Dalman will attempt to overcome with the promise of a hefty January transfer budget.

A source close to Tan told the Daily Mail: "Solskjaer is the first choice for the job and there will be a lot of money to spend in January - enough to make sure Cardiff stay up. The owner wants a young, hungry and dynamic manager to come in."
