Former Manchester United man Jesper Blomqvist believes the time was right for the club to announce Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their new permanent manager.
Solskjaer was given a three-year contract by the Red Devils having excelled as caretaker boss.
The Norwegian has won 14 and drawn two of his first 19 games in charge.

Blomqvist believes it was the best time to reveal the news, telling talkSPORT: “It’s much better now for them and time for everyone to take the question marks away and everyone knows what is expected of them next season.

“They can also start to prepare with the club and find if they need new players, everything is now much easier for them to plan.â€
A top four finished seemed unlikely under Jose Mourinho but Solskjaer has led them to just two points off Arsenal in that final Champions League place.
What has impressed Blomqvist more is the way they have been playing on the pitch.
He added: “I knew he would come in and change things around but the results speak for themselves.

“For me when you look at the players and their attitude on the pitch and how they’ve played and expressed themselves is the best thing to see.
“The players give everything, are running all the time and are fighting for each other, so that has been great.

“You definitely have to suspect that (Sir Alex Ferguson has given the thumbs up). He and Solskjaer have a close relationship and he has brought back that traditional way of playing by taking the club forward with youth and playing attacking football.
“For a lot of United supporters it is important to do it in the United way.â€
Jim White also asked Blomqvist if he would like to be involved with the Solskjaer tenure at Old Trafford.
Blomqvist replied: “I would love to be involved. Maybe I will have to carry the water bottles or something but I would love to be involved.â€
