Woodward and Man Utd board warming to Solskjaer stay

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is edging closer to being named permanent manager at Manchester United.

Chief Ed Woodward and United's hierarchy have been wowed by the Norwegian's 100 per cent start, says The Sun.

The executive vice-chairman went into the Wembley dressing room after the 1-0 victory against Spurs to congratulate Solskjaer on the job he is doing.

The Old Trafford powerbrokers initially only had Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino in their sights.

But former striker Solskjaer's record-breaking six wins from his first six games has hugely impressed them.

Now the clamour for him to get the job permanently is growing not only among the fans and players but in the boardroom, too.
