Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will take charge of United's Reserves from the start of the 2008/09 season.
The
Norwegian, who has been on the Reds' coaching staff since calling time
on his playing career last August, will replace Brian McClair and Jim
Ryan, who have been in caretaker charge of the second string for two
seasons.
"Ole is doing very well with his coaching, and this
will be a progressive step in finalising his coaching badges," said Sir
Alex Ferguson. "He has the right character to become a top coach and I
am sure he will do that."
Meanwhile Rio Ferdinand feels there is no limit to how far his former team-mate can go in the world of coaching.
"We
don’t have any respect for him, we don’t like him. I think he’s a bad
guy and he can’t coach," joked the England defender, before adding:
"Ole is a fantastic ambassador for football, not just Manchester United.
"He
was a top player and I am sure he’ll go on to become a top coach
because he has got some great ideas about the game and he is working
very hard in his role with the coaching staff. He’s got the right
credentials to be a top coach."
