Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made a former Manchester United player a priority signing after taking the reins at Besiktas, reports claim. The Norwegian spent three years out of management after being sacked by United following a dismal run of form which culminated with a heavy 4-1 defeat at the hands of Watford.

Former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been confirmed as the new manager at Turkish club Besiktas. Solskjaer, who has not held a coaching role since leaving Old Trafford in 2021, takes over at the Super Lig side who have been without a head coach since letting Giovanni van Bronckhorst go last month.
