Manchester United officially announced that Ruben Amorim has stepped down from his position as the club's manager, with Darren Fletcher named as the interim boss.
What Can We Expect Now? Who Is Most Likely to Be Man Utd’s New Manager? What Will Happen Between Now and June, and After June?
Yes, the name I keep mentioning is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He is extremely eager to seize this opportunity to return to Manchester United as the new manager. Solskjaer is ready—he is a free agent (his contract with Besiktas has been terminated)—so he is absolutely prepared to take on the interim role, initially for six months, then reassess the situation in the summer. Within hours of the club announcing Ruben Amorim’s sacking, Solskjaer was actively pushing for his return to Man Utd.
He has already returned to England and is ready to take the job if Man Utd decides to move forward. In the past 24 hours, Solskjaer and his agent have held face-to-face talks with Manchester United officials. Another former Man Utd player, Michael Carrick, has also met with the club. So they are considering multiple options, but are definitely working to confirm an interim manager as soon as possible. In addition, Jonny Evans will also return as part of the backroom staff. They are trying to rebuild the situation in an emergency, then decide how to restructure Man Utd again in the summer.
Let’s Discuss More on Social Media. We All Know How Solskjaer’s Relationship with the Club Was During His Previous Tenure as Man Utd Manager. But Based on Your Information, How Does He View This Opportunity at Man Utd Now?
What I can tell you is that immediately after Man Utd decided and announced Amorim’s sacking, Solskjaer and his agent sent a very clear message to the club: “I’m ready, I’m on standby, I want to come back, and I can help navigate this situation.” So when news emerged from Man Utd that they were likely to appoint an interim manager (unlike Chelsea, which had a contingency plan in place immediately after deciding to sack Enzo Maresca and appointed Rossi to a six-year long-term contract), Solskjaer immediately made himself available. He told Man Utd: “This is not about money, not about the contract, not about the salary—it’s just a desire to return and help Manchester United.” This has clearly been appreciated by the club. The decision now lies with Man Utd, but I think the possibility is very high.
