The Norwegian tactician has monitored a positive transition period for United, where they have become a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League again.
Since Solskjaer was announced as United manager in December 2018, he has led United to Champions League qualifiers during both of his two full seasons at Old Trafford and they have now secured their long-term future and announced a new three-year deal for another year.
United went to its official website to announce the news with Solskjaer taking the opportunity to express his joy at signing a new deal.
“Everyone knows the feeling I have for this club and I am very happy to have signed this new contract,” said Solskjaer. “It is an exciting time for Manchester United, we have built a squad with a good balance between young people and experienced players who are hungry for success.
“I have a fantastic coaching team around me, and we are all ready to take the next step on our journey. Manchester United want to win the biggest and best trophies and that is what we all strive for. We have improved, both on and off the pitch, and it will continue in the coming seasons.
“I can’t wait to get out in front of a packed Old Trafford and get this campaign started.”

Vice President Ed Woodward added that Solskjaer’s management and hard work since he was appointed United manager has had a huge hand in helping the club develop and says he is excited for the coming years.
“Ole and his staff have worked tirelessly to lay the foundation for long-term success on the field,” he said.
“The results of that have become increasingly clear over the last two seasons and we all look forward to seeing this exciting team develop further in the coming years.
“What is particularly gratifying is how these advances have been achieved with a mix of young, home-grown talent and high-class recruits, who play attacking football in Manchester United’s best traditions. We are more confident than ever that we, under Ole’s leadership, are moving in the right direction. ”
