Manchester United revealed on Thursday that sacking Jose Mourinho cost the club nearly £20 million, with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward hailing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.


The sum of £19.6 million (Rs 170 crore) which is listed under "exceptional items" in the club's second-quarter results, includes pay-outs for the members of Mourinho's staff who left with him after he was sacked in December. The fortunes of the club have been transformed since Solskjaer took the helm as interim boss.
