This summer, the Red Devils announced that the Norwegian coach had signed a three-year deal extension, with an option for a further year, keeping the manager at Old Trafford until at least 2024.
Man United has rivalries with Arsenal, Leeds United, Liverpool, and Man City, with whom they contest the Manchester derby.
