Talks underway: United working on sensational manager comeback
Jan 06 2026 19:16 · By onefootball.com · 50 Reads
Manchester United is considering a surprising return of Ole Gunnar Solskjær as interim coach until the end of the season. According to consistent reports from Fabrizio Romano and 'The Athletic', talks are said to have taken place today.
"Ole is ready to say YES," reports transfer expert Romano. He is expected to lead the team until the summer, after which a new coach will be appointed. Oliver Glasner remains the favorite for the position.
After the club dismissed Ruben Amorim on Monday after just 14 months in charge—his explosive outburst following the draw against Leeds proved to be the final straw for the club's leadership—United initially appointed U18 coach Darren Fletcher as interim manager.
The Scotsman will oversee the team in Wednesday's match at Burnley and is also expected to be on the sidelines for Sunday's FA Cup clash against Brighton. After that, United legend Solskjær could take over until the end of the season.
Back in 2018, he had already taken over as interim coach and subsequently served as head coach from 2019 to 2021.
