Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been floated as an option to replace Ruben Amorim as the new head coach of Manchester United.
Manchester United made the bold decision to sack Ruben Amorim on Monday morning following his comments made towards the club hierarchy.
Despite initially presenting Amorim as a long-term project manager, he lasted just 14 months in the job before being dismissed.

United fans will fondly remember when Solskjaer last stepped in as a caretaker manager following Jose Mourinho’s sacking.
Incredibly, Solskjaer boasted a 74% win rate as caretaker manager, winning 14 of his first 19 games in charge of the Red Devils, earning him a permanent appointment.
Solskjaer was also manager under the Glazer ownership, and would likely receive better backing from Ineos and a proper footballing structure now in place.
