Man Utd to Discuss Interim Manager Role with Solskjaer and Carrick
Manchester United is set to hold further discussions with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick regarding the interim head coach position. Both former players have expressed interest in being involved with the first team again. The club's director of football, Jason Wilcox, has already had informal conversations with them. United is considering other candidates, including Ruud Van Nistelrooy, for the role until the end of the season. The team is expected to announce a short-term appointment soon, which will give them time to focus on a more permanent solution in the summer. Several top coaches, such as Oliver Glasner, Marco Silva, and Andoni Iraola, will be available once their current contracts expire. Solskjaer, who was previously sacked by Manchester United in 2021, is reportedly the favorite for the interim position. He has a strong connection with the team's fans and has expressed his desire to return to Old Trafford. Meanwhile, other managers like Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner and Newcastle's Eddie Howe have been linked to the permanent role, but they have both reiterated their commitment to their current teams.
