Legends who played with Manchester United Park Ji-sung will take the helm of Manchester United. Manchester United, which replaced Hoobeng Amorim (41), has selected Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick as potential candidates for interim head coach.

The BBC, a leading British newspaper, said on the 8th (Korea Standard Time), "Solskjaer and Carrick have emerged as the most likely candidates for the temporary manager's position to lead Manchester United until the end of this season. We will meet in person with the leaders of Manchester United's club and proceed with negotiations," he reported.

In addition, the media said, "Both Solskjaer and Carrick have led Manchester United in the past," adding, "In particular, Carrick may lead the team together as he served as a key coach in the Solskjaer division, which replaced Jose Mourinho (current SL Benfica) in 2018."

The urgent fire will be extinguished by coach Darren Fletcher under the age of 18 (U-18). In addition, according to the BBC, GS Manchester United player added, "If Solskjaer or Carrick shares the command of Manchester United, or if the results of the next two games are positive, there is a possibility that Fletcher will take over the team until the end of the season."

In response, Manchester United legend Gary Neville said through Sky Sports, "It's a history that repeats like watching a black hole of love in a movie," adding, "Solskjaer is a person who truly loves the club and knows the work well. Solskjaer, Carrick and Ruud van Nistelro are all great people and love Manchester United, but if the results don't go well in the future they will be under huge pressure. I wish you good luck no matter who becomes it," he said, expressing concern.

First of all, Solskjaer has more coaching experience than Carrick. Solskjaer made his splendid debut in 2011 by leading his former team Molde to their first Norwegian league championship, returning to Molde after being replaced by Cardiff City in 2014 and taking the temporary helm of Manchester United in 2018 as Mourinho's replacement.

Since then, Solskjaer has been promoted to Manchester United's official coach in March 2019 and secured the second place in the English Premier League (EPL) and the UEFA Europa League (UEL) final in the 2020-2021 season.

However, Solskjaer recently took the helm of Turkiye Besiktas, but was dismissed in August 29 games later due to poor performance such as elimination from the Europa League and Europa Conference League (UECL) playoffs.

Carrick, on the other hand, joined Mourinho's division shortly after his retirement in 2018 and served as a coach until Solskjaer's regime, before recording two wins and one draw as an interim coach for three games after Solskjaer's dismissal in 2021. Afterwards, he took the helm of Middlesbrough and led the team to the promotion playoffs in the 2022-2023 season, but lost in the semifinals, and was later replaced in June last year due to a drop in performance.

Manchester United plans to appoint an official manager this summer after the season ends with this firefighter system. Crystal Palace coach Oliver Glasner and Marcelo Roberto DeGerbi are considered early candidates.

Earlier on the 5th, Manchester United officially announced its breakup in an official statement, saying, "Hubeng Amorim has stepped down as Manchester United manager." Manager Amorim, who took over in November 2024, played 63 games in about 14 months and won only 25 games.

In particular, the conflict with the leadership was the decisive factor. "I want to work as a manager, not a coach," Amorim said in an interview shortly after last Friday's 1-1 draw against Leeds United, revealing that his relationship with club managers had deteriorated over support for the transfer market. "I'm ready to leave with the expiration of my contract 18 months later," he said, directly hitting the club's leadership. Less than 24 hours after the remarks were made, Manchester United decided to be dismissed.
