Manchester United have sacked manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following Saturday's 4-1 defeat, the latest in a series of losses.

The club have won just one of their past seven Premier League matches and are seventh in the table, 12 points behind leaders Chelsea.

Assistant manager Michael Carrick will be placed in temporary charge, with Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino touted as the club's top pick as a permanent replacement.
