Gary Neville Makes Stance Clear on Ex-Manchester United Teammate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Returning to as Manager at Old Trafford

Solskjaer is considered for interim role after Amorim's dismissal; United plans a permanent summer appointment while evaluating four other candidates.

  • Manchester United held talks with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer about becoming their interim manager, viewing him as a strong candidate due to his long association with the club dating to his playing career.
  • Ruben Amorim was dismissed on Monday after 14 months following an explosive rant after a 1-1 draw with Leeds, while Manchester United leadership insists any head coach must operate within a wider structure.
  • For the immediate fixtures, Fletcher is set to lead United under-18s coach Darren Fletcher as interim boss for Wednesday's match at Burnley and Sunday's FA Cup tie with Brighton.
  • United will revisit summer targets such as Kieran McKenna, Ipswich Town manager, and Enzo Maresca, Chelsea coach, while Oliver Glasner, Crystal Palace manager, is expected to be available.
  • Solskjaer's previous spell at United included managing from December 2018 to November 2021, finishing second in the Premier League and reaching the 2020-21 Europa League final, while Glasner shows adaptability unlike recently-sacked Amorim despite questions over possession tactics and three at the back.
