Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been appointed as the full-time manager of Manchester United on a three-year deal, the Old Trafford side have confirmed via their official website.

The permanent employment of the former Norway international, who previously served as caretaker boss after José Mourinho's sacking in December 2018, has led to reactions from Manchester United Nigerian fans on social media.

In 19 matches since he took over from the famous Portuguese coach, Solskjaer has won 14, drawn two and suffered three defeats to Arsenal, Wolves and PSG, and took United to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.

Here's how Nigerians reacted on Twitter to the news :
