Solskjaer, 45, has been an instant hit transforming the mood at the club amongst the players and staff, the complete opposite to the negative and confrontational Mourinho.

Sir Alex Ferguson who played a pivotal role in his return and has been advising the former United striker would support his long-term appointment.

Solskjaer’s success in some ways is providing a huge headache at the club which is why they want a director of football in to offer vital input during the managerial recruitment process.

RB Leipzig’s Paul Mitchell is admired by United, but luring him away from Germany could prove tricky.

Former United keeper Edwin van der Sar, the current Ajax CEO is another candidate on their radar and attracting more interest at Old Trafford.

However, the ambitious plan to land former Juventus team of Giuseppe Marotta and current sporting director Fabio Paratici has faded.

Marotta does not want to work in England, while Paratici wants to stay in Turin.
