Carrick is said to have warned the squad that United will let any player leave that shows disrespect to the badge but the celebrations are said to have continued privately.
Pogba hastily deleted a tweet appearing to mock Mourinhos sacking shortly after the clubs official announcement, which irked former club captain Gary Neville.
Solskjaer is expected to take training at Carrington tomorrow after arriving in Manchester late on Wednesday.
While the majority of United players were overjoyed that Mourinho had left, the likes of Nemanja Matic and Romelu Lukaku were despondent.
Mourinho maintained the respect of as little as 10% of the squad in the last days of his time at Old Trafford but Eric Bailly and Jesse Lingard were two of the first squad members to thank him publicly on Instagram.
