The club’s refusal to sanction a move for the England international deepened divisions between Mourinho and the board, the fallout that ended with the manager’s sacking in December as the team struggled. Caretaker manager Solskjaer, publicly at least, appears less concerned than Mourinho about the lack of defensive signings…
