Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Manchester United captain, Gary Neville, has reacted to the club\u2019s decision to fire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager.<\/p>\n

The club\u2019s hierarchy took the decision less than 24 hours after they lost 4-1 at Watford in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Neville had refused to call for Solskjaer\u2019s dismissal following damaging defeats against the likes of Leicester and Liverpool earlier this season. Instead, the former Valencia boss criticized the team\u2019s performances.<\/p>\n

Following the 48-year-old\u2019s sack, Neville has thanked Solskjaer for \u201crestoring some soul\u201d at Old Trafford during his three-year tenure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, Ole. You did us proud. The last two months were tough but before that, you restored some soul into the club,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Neville insisted it was not his \u201cstyle\u201d to call for managers to go. According to him, he made a decision when Arsene Wenger was coming to the end at Arsenal.<\/p>\n
