Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to formally interview for the Manchester United job.

The Sun says in front of Ed Woodward and the increasingly-influential figure of director Matt Judge, the interim manager will be able to put forward his case for the long term.

He has done a good job so far, stringing together six successive wins after succeeding the Special One at Old Trafford.

Victory at Tottenham last weekend made him a serious candidate.

To get the gig full-time, Solskjaer will need a transfer strategy and a firm idea on the way forward — making sure they are in the mix at the business end of the season.
