Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has signed a new contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2024, the club announced on Saturday.
The Norwegian’s previous deal was due to run out in 2022, but United have moved to agree fresh terms to extend his stay as manager. He has signed a new three-year contract with the option of another year.

The announcement comes a day after United confirmed the £72.9 million signing of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund on a five-year contract until 2026, with the option of another year.
Solskjaer took over at Old Trafford — initially as caretaker following the departure of Jose Mourinho — in 2018.
He was appointed to the role permanently in March 2019 — signing a three-year contract — after winning 14 of his first 19 games in charge.
He has won 84 of his 151 games as United boss and led the team to a second place finish in the Premier League last season.
Solskjaer scored 126 goals in 366 games as a player for United, winning six Premier League titles and the 1999 Champions League.
