Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could make an unexpected comeback to Manchester United as interim head coach following the club’s decision to part ways with Rúben Amorim, according to Rich Fay.

The former United manager has been out of work since his dismissal from Turkish side Beşiktaş in August. This potential return would mark his first coaching role since leaving Old Trafford in November 2021.

Solskjaer was sacked when Manchester United were sitting seventh in the Premier League, 12 points behind leaders Chelsea, after managing only one win in their last seven league games.

Michael Carrick, who replaced Solskjaer as interim manager back in 2021, is also being considered for the short-term role.

Manchester United plans to appoint an interim manager following a transitional period under Darren Fletcher, with a permanent head coach unlikely to be named before the season ends.
