Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has not served notice on Virgil Van Dijk to move out of his Cheshire home but the new Manchester United boss does hope to move his family in later this year.
Solskjaer was confirmed as United’s permanent boss on Thursday after transforming the club during a caretaker spell.
Liverpool defender Van Dijk has been renting the Norwegian’s home while he has been staying at the Lowry Hotel in the centre of the city.
Solskjaer was asked whether he had served notice for the Netherlands international to move out during his first press conference as the Red Devils’ manager.
“No, I haven’t we’ve got a contract there,” he said.
Solskjaer revealed earlier in the day that he and his family plan to live in the house he bought 12 years ago after signing a three-year contract as United boss.
“We’ve really enjoyed the last eight years living in Norway,” the former United striker said in an interview with MUTV.
“It’s going to be a change for them but we’re looking forward to it.
“The six months that we agreed on (when initially taking the job on until the end of the season) as a family we agreed to do it separately as there was no need to move them over. That’s gone now. Now we’re moving together.
“We built a house, or I started it in 2007, but finally maybe in 2019 we can move into it – that’s long planning!”
Solskjaer, who has overseen 14 wins from his 19 games in caretaker charge, put the five-bedroom property on the market after he returned to Norway to manage Molde.
But he failed to find a buyer for his house, and reportedly rented it out to Van Dijk – meaning Solskjaer has had to stay at a hotel.
The Lowry was where Solskjaer’s predecessor Jose Mourinho lived during his two-and-a-half years in Manchester before his dismissal in December.
