Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sorry to hear of Slaven Bilic's sacking by West Brom.

Solskjaer says he has sympathy for Slaven Bilic, who has been sacked as West Brom manager.

"Well I think these times in a pandemic and what has happened has made everyone sit back and think," said Solskjaer.

"I'm very sad to hear Slaven has lost his job. He did a great job getting them promotion.

"I've known him for years and I'm sure he'll be back soon. Hopefully more and more clubs will think long term. It's a short term business and you need short term results, but continuity is the key to success and patience."
