Manchester United planned to officially confirm Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their new interim manager on Wednesday morning but it seems as though someone at the club could not wait that long.
On Tuesday night, less than 12 hours after Jose Mourinho had been sacked, United's website posted a video with the caption: 'Solskjaer becomes our interim manager, 20 seasons after clinching the Treble with THAT goal at Camp Nou...'
The video, which refers to the former striker's winner in the 1999 Champions League final, did not appear on the club's homepage but was posted under the URL 'www.manutd.com/en/videos/detail/highlights-of-the-1999-champions-league-final-and-ole-gunnar-solskjaer-winner'.
Manchester United accidentally broke the news of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's appointment online
United's website uploaded a video of Solskjaer scoring during the 1999 European Cup final
United later removed the content but are expected to republish the video when the Molde boss is unveiled as the man to replace Mourinho for the rest of the season.
The Norwegian Prime Minister also jumped the gun by congratulating Solskjaer on Tuesday night. In a tweet that she later deleted, PM Erna Solberg wrote: 'Great day for Norwegian football. Good luck keeping control of the Red Devils, @ olegs26_ole'.
Solskjaer, who scored more than 100 goals in 11 years as a player at Old Trafford, will be assisted by Sir Alex Ferguson's former No 2 Mike Phelan for the rest of the season as United reach out to their glorious past.
But it is understood that Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino remains the club's long-term target and United sources have been aware for some time of his desire to take the Old Trafford job.
The Argentine was Ferguson's preferred choice before Mourinho was appointed in 2016, and Sportsmail understands that United have already made the first moves to lure him from Spurs in the summer.

But they will face fierce opposition from Tottenham chief Daniel Levy, a notoriously tough negotiator who signed Pochettino to a five-year contract in May.
There is no escape clause in the deal meaning that United may have to pay up to £40million to get their man.
They could also face opposition from Real Madrid who were ready to offer the former Espanyol boss the job at the Bernabeu last summer and could do so again.
Like United, they see 46-year-old Pochettino as the ideal coach to take their young squad forward with his brand of progressive, vibrant football.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
