Ole Gunnar Solskjaer arrives at Lowry Hotel as he checks into new job as Man Utd boss
The Norwegian was named interim manager until the end of the season after Jose Mourinho's sacking.
And former Red Devils striker Solskjaer was pictured arriving at the team's hotel at 7.40pm in the back of a car.
Solskjaer will step into Mourinho's job at Old Trafford, and perhaps he might even fill the luxury £870-a-night suite that the Portuguese left behind.
And the 45-year-old will now prepare for his first game in charge of United on Saturday against Cardiff – a side he used to manage.
Mourinho lived in the Lowry Hotel for his entire 895-day reign as Manchester United boss, but moved back to his west London house this week.
He left his temporary northern home for the last time on Tuesday hours after learning he had been axed.
The hotel is popular choice with A-listers visiting Manchester. Rita Ora, Robbie Williams and Justin Bieber have all checked in.
