UFC star, Conor McGregor says Manchester United “have to” make Ole Gunnar Solskjaer their next permanent manager.
Before Solskjaer arrived in December, Jose Mourinho had led United to their worst start to a league season in 28 years, with the club floundering 11 points adrift of the Champions League places when he was sacked.

However, Solskjaer, despite suffering back-to-back defeats in his last two games, has elevated United to within two points of the top four, as well as overcoming Paris Saint-Germain to reach the Champions League quarter finals.

Mcgregor, who is also a United fan, believes “special” Solskjaer has done an “incredible job”, telling FIFA’s official website: “They have to give him the job permanently.
“You can feel the pride and passion he has for the club and its history, and see the players honoured to wear the Red Devils crest under him. He’s really got the players performing.
“I think the same as a proud Irish man representing my home country of Ireland. Ole’s at the wheel, tell me how good does it feel!”
