Man Utd told Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sacking may have cost them top-four finish

The 49-year-old was sacked back in November after winning just five of their opening 12 Premier League matches. His tenure ended following a 4-1 defeat at relegation-threatened Watford, with United sitting seventh in the table.

Having took over from Jose Mourinho in 2019, Solskjaer guided the Red Devils to a second-place finish and a Europa League final in his third season in charge. However, United struggled for form and consistency during the first few months of the campaign, leaving the board little choice but to part company with the former striker.
