Manchester United FA Cup winner Paul McGrath insists Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had to be removed.

He wrote for the Sunday World: "Doesn't it say everything about Manchester United right now that they first replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a member of his own staff, have brought in an interim boss in Ralf Rangnick, and will make a permanent appointment next summer.

"So Manchester United are telling us that they cannot get the replacement manager they want right NOW!

"I know it can be difficult to get bosses to leave a club in mid-season. There is a bit of loyalty there.

"But this is United for God's sake, they have the financial oomph to make anything happen.

"Instead, they are stumbling around and dallying. They aren't decisive enough.

"Like many people who love Manchester United, I took no pleasure in Ole's firing last weekend.

"I forecasted it for months, knew it was coming, but it was sad to see a club legend fall like that.

"But the sad truth of it all was that he was out of his depth as an elite coach, having been comprehensively out-schemed by the guy in the other dugout too many times."
