As usual, our fantastic supporters were quick off the mark in wishing the boss good luck in the role, after he agreed a three-year contract.
Here is a snapshot of some of the reactions on social media…
Paige Williams: Ole's at the Wheel. Brilliant decision MUFC!
Ali Hameed: The news we all wanted to hear!! Let's go OLE! #GGMU
Joyce Crawford: Brilliant, well deserved. He’ll do a good job, he's got a real feel for the team, having been a player then a manager. Well done. Congratulations, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer!
