Beaten again this Sunday in the Premier League by West Ham (4-1), Manchester United continues its chaotic start to the season. Currently 14th in the English championship, the club with 20 national titles already finds itself 7 units from the top 4 after 9 days. A blatant ignition delay which was fatal to their coach Erik ten Hag. The Dutch technician who fought for a long time to keep his place was sacked following this series of poor results. While his assistant Ruud van Nistelrooy will take over in the interim, Manchester United is working to try to find a new coach.
A mission which will not be so obvious since the market for free coaches is quite closed with a few well-known names like Frank Lampard, Graham Potter, Xavi, Edin Terzic or Massimiliano Allegri. Track of the Red Devils last summer after his departure from Bayern Munich, Thomas Tuchel finally made the decision to join the English selection two weeks ago and is no longer available for Manchester United. Having to rack their brains, the English club in any case has a name in mind.
MU have not ruled out the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer option
Former coach of Manchester United between December 2018 and November 2021, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have had a mixed stint with the Red Devils as coach. If he did not win any title, he nevertheless had the merit of relieving him from a complicated situation to reinstall him in the English top 4. And this, the Mancunian management has not forgotten, according to the Manchester Evening News. Indeed, the local media explains that the Red Devils will not be able to do anything crazy.
Already having to pay £17 million, or just over €20 million, in redundancy costs for Erik ten Hag and his staff, Manchester United could look at a low-cost solution. Not committed to a club and currently a video analyst for UEFA since January 2023, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could therefore easily arrive at Manchester United. For the moment nothing has been done, but the Red Devils have not ruled out a formal approach soon. Long-term solution or reinforcement for the staff, the role that could be offered to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has not been defined, but his name comes up surprisingly in the higher authorities of the Mancunian club.
