Ole Gunnar Solskjaer departs with the second-best win record of Manchester United's post-Ferguson managers, winning 91 of his 168 games in charge across all competitions - a better percentage return than David Moyes, Louis van Gaal or Jose Mourinho managed.
Van Gaal and Mourinho, though, both won trophies.
The Dutchman lifted the FA Cup in 2016 - shortly before he was sacked - and Mourinho led United to a Europa League and EFL Cup double in 2017.
Where none of United's past four permanent managers have succeeded is in bringing the Premier League title back to Old Trafford.
Ferguson's 13th and final title, won in 2013, remains United's last. In his two full seasons in charge, Solskjaer guided United to two top-three Premier League finishes.
They were third in 2019-20, before they finished runners-up to Manchester City last season. But he missed out on a trophy as his side lost on penalties to Villarreal in the Europa League final in May.

Eugene Leach: The entire coaching & backroom staff need to be replaced. They've shown no capacity for organising the team, coaching the defenders, midfielders, the players have no work ethos. There's five of them need to be shown the door also. Solskjaer was unable to get them to perform consistently.

Steve Fraser: I feel sorry for Ole & the next MUFC manager. The club lack the right structure to be successful - an experienced director of football working with a highly skilled and experienced coaching staff are needed. Otherwise they has no chance. Ultimately blame lies with the Glazers.
Nxdime: It’s gonna be the same thing whoever replaces Ole will get the same treatment from the fans, Man United players just don’t have that special bond with each other. It needs a revamp.
