Manchester United caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he will “get the players enjoying football” again following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.

United appointed their former striker as boss until the end of the season on Wednesday, a day after Mourinho was dismissed.

Solskjaer, 45, takes over with United sixth in the Premier League.

The Norwegian told MUTV that he wanted to see the players “express themselves” during the rest of the campaign.

“We will get the players enjoying football and looking forward to seeing the supporters again,” he said.

He also promised fans that he would “give everything” to “bring the club success” and get players “enjoying football”.

“We have to get used to winning again and challenging for trophies,” he added.

“Whatever has happened has happened and everyone starts with a clean slate.”

Solskjaer’s first match in charge will be at Cardiff on Saturday, where he had an eight-month spell as manager in 2014.
