Ole Gunnar Solskjaer open to Manchester United return after Ruben Amorim’s departure | OneFootball

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be interested in a shock return to Manchester United as caretaker manager, per journalist Rich Fay. 

The Red Devils parted company with Ruben Amorim after his stunning comments about the club’s hierarchy following Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Leeds United. 

United have put Darren Fletcher in interim charge, but they are looking to appoint a caretaker before making a permanent appointment next summer.

Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner is reportedly the leading candidate. Enzo Maresca, Gareth Southgate, Thomas Tuchel and Michael Carrick are also in contention. 

With a short-term role potentially available, Solskjaer has expressed an interest in making a shock return to his former club. 

The Norwegian has been out of a job since being sacked by Turkish outfit Besiktas in August after they were knocked out of the Europa Conference League play-offs by Lausanne. 

United appointed Solskjaer as a caretaker manager in December 2018 following the sacking of Jose Mourinho. 

He led the club to an incredible 11-match unbeaten run, prompting the club’s hierarchy to hand him the permanent role. 

United secured third and second-place finishes in the Premier League under Solskjaer. They also reached five semi-finals out of six in cup competitions.

However, a miserable run of one win in seven top-flight matches eventually led to his dismissal in November 2021.
