Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been appointed as Manchester United’s next manager and has signed a three-year deal, the club has confirmed. In a tweet on Thursday, the club wrote: “Ole’s at the wheel! We can confirm that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been appointed as #MUFC manager.” The Norwegian was first appointed as interim boss in December following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s net worth
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was already raking in big money during his spell as Manchester United’s interim manager and the amount is now expected to rise.
Solskjaer earned an estimated £20million throughout his career with United as a player.
However, despite such a large income in his playing days, a Norwegian news outlet has ranked his current net worth significantly lower.
According to Josimar, he is worth approximately 24m NOK (£2.11m).
The 45-year-old is earning roughly 10 times the salary he was picking up with Norwegian side Molde.
Details of Solskjaer’s deal with United have not been confirmed though The Mirror understand he was earning around the £100,000 per week before appointed as permanent manager.
His predecessor Jose Mourinho picked up approximately £250,000 per week during his reign.
Solskjaer’s wages have significantly risen from his contract with Molde where he was reportedly earning £9,600-a-week.
He earned a £35,000 weekly wage during the peak of his playing career at United.
