He has admitted he wants the job on a permanent basis when his interim spell comes to an end, but Solskjaer is likely to face a challenge with Ed Woodward, United’s executive vice-chairman, telling talkSPORT many of football’s biggest names want to become the Old Trafford club’s new full-time manager ahead of next season.One of those is believed to be Allegri, the Juventus manager, who has been a serial winner since joining the Serie A giants four years ago.
