MANCHESTER UNITED appear to have confirmed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their interim manager.
The Red Devils sacked Jose Mourinho on Tuesday after a dismal start to the season.
Executive vice chairman Ed Woodward wanted to name an interim successor to the Portuguese coach within 48 hours.
But it now seems a website gaffe has let the cat out of the bag early.
On the club’s official website, a video of Solskjaer scoring in the 1999 Champions League final victory over Bayern Munich was added with the headline saying: “The most famous night of Ole’s career.”
But underneath that a caption said: “Solskjaer becomes our interim manager, 20 seasons after clinching the Treble with THAT goal at Camp Nou…”
And even Norway’s Prime Minister appeared to confirm the news before any word from United.
Erna Solberg tweeted, which was quickly deleted, saying: “Great day for Norwegian football. Good luck keeping control of the Red Devils, @olegs26_ole.”
WHEN THE BUBBLE BURST The moment Woodward decided Jose was wrong for Utd job
Solskjaer, 45, began his managerial career at Manchester United reserves in 2008, and led them to the Premier Reserve League title in 2010.
A year later he left for Molde and led the Norwegians to two consecutive domestic titles in 2011 and 2012 and the 2013 Norwegian Cup.

But his only experience in England came in a disastrous 2014 spell at Cardiff City in which saw the Bluebirds relegated and Solskjaer sacked in September following a dismal start to the Championship season.
Solskjaer then coached his former academy side, Clausenengen U19, on a part-time basis between 2014 and 2016 before returning to current club Molde in 2015.
Despite Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino and ex-Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane being the early favourites to become Mourinho’s permanent successor, the Stretford End will no doubt be delighted to see one of their favourite sons in the dug-out.
Solskjaer scored 126 goals in 366 appearances during his 11 years at Old Trafford after joining from Molde in 1996.
He is best remembered for scoring the winner in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich in 1999 as the Red Devils turned the scoreline round at the death to triumph 2-1 and claim the treble.
In total, Solskjaer won six Premier League titles and two FA Cups with United in addition to the European crown.
Ironically, the Norwegian’s first game in charge will come on familiar territory.
United travel to Cardiff City on Saturday afternoon as they look to try and close the 11-point gap between them and the top four.
Sacked Jose Mourinho to pocket a whopping £24m Man Utd severance payout
JOSE MOURINHO is set to receive an astonishing £24million after being sacked by Manchester United.
The Portuguese, 55, has been given his marching orders after guiding the Red Devilsto their worst start to the season in 28 years.
On the weekend, SunSport reported that the departing Old Trafford chief would receive the eye-watering sum of £24million if he was to be sacked within 45 days.
The figure is so high as the tactician signed a new contract with the Manchester club in January that would keep him at the club until 2020.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
