Former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly decided against moving back to Norway after he was sacked as the Man United boss, SunSport reports.

It is understood Ole opted to stay back because of his daughter who currently is part of Man United's academy.

Solskjaer's family returns to Norway

His wife, Silje, and sons Noah and Elijah are said to have already jetted back home in Norway, with the family moving back during the lockdown.

Solskjaer, who is staying in the northwest was recently spotted treating himself to some Japanese grub from a nearby Cheshire spot.

At the time, he bumped into some of the staunch Man United supporters who are said to have thanked him for his efforts during his three-year spell at Old Trafford. The tactician was heard saying as he collected his food

"I tried my best. Thanks, lads."

The Norwegian has since been succeeded by Ralf Rangnick who was recently appointed on an interim basis.

Rangnick was in charge at the weekend when United stunned Crystal Palace 1-0 at Old Trafford.
