The possibility of the return of an unconventional legend has been raised. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (52), who has already been replaced while leading Manchester United, seems to be taking the helm of Manchester United again.

The BBC reported on the 10th (Korea Standard Time) that "the appointment of a temporary coach to be responsible for Manchester United's remaining schedule is nearing the end," adding, "Solskjaer is scheduled to have a face-to-face meeting with Manchester United's leadership on Saturday."

Not only Solskjaer but also another Manchester United legend Michael Carrick (44) former Middlesbrough coach is a strong candidate, according to reports. Carrick is believed to have already met with club officials. Manchester United are planning to complete their appointment as manager before the upcoming derby match against Manchester City this weekend.

Manchester United were in chaos after the replacement of Hoobeng Amorim (41). He seems to be in urgent contact with legends as a firefighter.

According to the BBC, an internal source of the club said, "Solskjaer and Carrick worked together as coaching staff in 2018, after Jose Mourinho's replacement, but this time they are considering each other as a candidate for the coach."

Solskjaer took over as interim manager after Mourinho left in 2018. Solskjaer, who had outstanding performances as a firefighter, was promoted to official coach in March 2019.

But it didn't end well. Solskjaer made progress by leading Manchester United to the UEFA Europa League (UEL) final, but was dismissed in November 2021 due to poor performance.

Even most recently, he took the helm of Besiktas (Turkiye) after suffering from the elimination of the Europa League and Europa Conference League (UECL) playoffs.

Manchester United, which hurriedly replaced its manager during the season, seems to be struggling to appoint the next head coach. Manager Amorim, who took over in November 2024, left the club in disgrace after only winning 25 games in 63 games in about 14 months.

Conflict with the team's leaders was the decisive blow. "I want to work as a manager, not as a coach," Amorim said in an interview shortly after the 1-1 draw against Leeds United, which was on the verge of being replaced. "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.

Currently, Manchester United is temporarily led by coach Darren Fletcher. Fletcher is focusing on preparing for the third round of the Brighton and FA Cup. For now, Fletcher defended the club's youth system, which coach Amorim criticized, and started to settle the team's atmosphere.

During his tenure, Amorim publicly criticized promising players such as Harry Amas and Chido Obi, pointing out that players from the youth have a sense of privilege. In response, Fletcher said, "Manchester United has historically been built around the academy," adding, "The club has great talents. It is our role to help young players like Shay Lacey prove their skills," he stressed.
