Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was overcome by emotions in one last Man United interview after he was sacked as manager.

The emotional Norwegian took time to reflect on his final days as United boss as he conceded he always knew his days at the club were numbered.

“You know what this club means to me and what I wanted to achieve here. For the club, for the fans, for the players, for the staff.

“I wanted us to take the next step to challenge for the league, to win trophies and I only think it’s right that it comes from the horse’s mouth.

“This club means everything to me and together we’re a good match, but unfortunately I couldn’t get the results we needed and it’s time for me to step aside."

A tearful Ole went on to send his best wishes to Michael Carrick who has since been named his successor on a temporary basis.

“If and when you win the game, you’re through to the next round, Michael is going to be in charge. Michael, I have the utmost respect (for), I love Michael to bits," he conceded.

Solskjaer was shown the door just hours after the Red Devils were demolished 4-1 by Watford at Vicarage Road.

The result meant the Manchester club had won just once in seven Premier League games.

The Old Trafford dwellers now find themselves sitting seventh on the log with just 17 points, 12 adrift of leaders Chelsea.

Carrick, who played alongside Ole in the 2006/07 season is now set to take charge of the struggling Red Devils as they head to Spain to take on Villarreal in the Champions League.
