5 Reason Why Manchester United should hand Solskjaer the permanent manager role right away

#2 Stability while hiring Director of Football role

Van der Sar and Solskjaer - Two club legends who were crucial in United's past two CL Triumphs

United have finally recognized the need to differentiate between the football and business aspects of running the club. Ever since the talk of having a Director of Football role has begun, the first candidate on everyone's mind has been another club legend Edwin van der Sar. Van der Sar has done a stellar job with Ajax as their Director of Football and having his former team mate Solskjaer as the long term manager might make it easier to lure him from Ajax as soon as possible. Locking in a long term core of two well liked and competent former players as manager and director of football might solve the instability issue that has plagued the club for half a decade now.

Usually, the club director plays a significant role in the hiring of a club's manager. But Manchester United have never had a Director of Football in the past. So rather than handing the reigns of the club to a new person, to mould the club in his own identity, it is smarter to have the coach and the director work together with a shared vision to maintain the identity of the club and bring in long term success.
