Solskjaer plans to move into £4m mansion following Man United appointment after renting it out to Virgil van Dijk

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was confirmed Manchester United manager on Thursday. Solskjaer has revealed his intentions to move into his own foundations he laid in Cheshire 12 years ago. 'We've really enjoyed the last eight years living in Norway,' the club legend said in an interview with Manchester United following his appointment. 'It's going to be a change for them but we're looking forward to it. The six months that we agreed on [when initially taking the job on until the end of the season] as a family we agreed to do it separately as there was no need or use to move them over, that's gone now. Now we're moving together. 'We built a house, or I started it in 2007, but finally maybe in 2019 we can move into it - that's long planning!' During his playing days at Old Trafford, Solskjaer lived in a £4million, five-bedroom property but put it on the market after he returned to Norway to manage Molde. However, since returning to England, the 46-year-old has been forced to look elsewhere for a property as his own is currently not available. Having failed to find a buyer for his house, he rented it out to Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk - meaning Solskjaer has had to stay at the Lowry Hotel.
