Unanswered questions What we asked United

-

‹Was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer aware when he signed Babacar Sarr that the player had been accused of raping another woman in Stockholm in 2015? If not, at what point did Solskjaer become aware of this accusation?

Was Solskjaer consulted over the club’s decisions to allow Sarr to remain available for selection after the player was: a) first accused by the woman in Molde, b) after Sarr was charged, c) after another woman (a third alleged victim) came forward to accuse Sarr of raping her in 2014, and d) after Sarr was ordered by a court to pay compensati­on?

Did Solskjaer express reservatio­ns to the club about Sarr’s availabili­ty for selection at any of the above moments or did he consider exercising his final say as manager not to select him?

Was Solskjaer consulted over the decision to terminate Sarr’s contract at the end of the 2018 Norwegian season? Did Solskjaer approve that decision and was it related to Sarr’s November 2018 arrest for a fourth alleged rape?

Does Solskjaer stand by everything he said and did during this period or does he have any regrets or a message for any of Sarr’s alleged victims?

Was Ed Woodward aware of the Sarr case when appointing Solskjaer?

Do United have a policy on selecting players charged with serious crimes and, if so, what is it?

Does Woodward endorse the decisions and comments made by Solskjaer in this case during his time at Molde?

Are United comfortabl­e with Jim Solbakken being Solskjaer’s agent and with his potential involvemen­t with transfers at the club?
