US EditionManchester United Caretaker Manager: Michael Carrick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Are Front Runners
Manchester United considers former coaches Solskjaer, Carrick, and Van Nistelrooy for interim role after Amorim's 14-month tenure ended; Fletcher leads upcoming matches.
- On Tuesday, Manchester United approached Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick about interim roles until the end of the season following Ruben Amorim's dismissal on Monday.
- After 14 months at the club, Ruben Amorim's dismissal on Monday opened a short-term recruitment drive as Manchester United seeks its seventh permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson's 2013 retirement, planning a long-term appointment in the summer.
- United placed under-18 coach Darren Fletcher in temporary charge for Wednesday's trip to Burnley and Sunday's FA Cup tie against Brighton & Hove Albion, while Ruud van Nistelrooy and Michael Carrick remain under consideration.
- With a long-term appointment planned for the summer, Manchester United believes the change will boost its chances of rising up the standings while securing Champions League qualification.
- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who managed Manchester United between 2018 and 2021, retains the strongest managerial pedigree but would be a surprising interim pick after more than four years away; waiting until summer could open options like Oliver Glasner, Marco Silva, and Roberto De Zerbi.
