Former Manchester United striker and club icon Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed his desire to one day return to manage the Red Devils. In a candid conversation, the legendary forward admitted that despite his past stint ending in 2021, his passion for the club remains strong, and he would eagerly embrace another opportunity to manage United.
Solskjaer’s Past as Manchester United Manager
Solskjaer was dismissed from his role as Manchester United** manager in November 2021 after a challenging start to the Premier League season, with United only managing one win in seven league matches. At the time of his departure, the team sat seventh in the table, 12 points behind the league leaders. Despite this, Solskjaer remains one of the club’s most beloved figures, both for his contributions on the field and in the dugout.
Ole’s Unwavering Love for the Red Devils
While speaking at the Oslo Business Forum on Thursday, September 26, Solskjaer opened up about his continued connection with the club and the potential for a future return. When asked if he would ever consider returning to manage Manchester United, Solskjaer replied:
> “I would say yes every day of the week. It feels wrong to talk about jobs that other people have, but I would say yes of course.”
This statement has ignited speculation among fans, with many still holding fond memories of Solskjaer’s time at the club, particularly his leadership during crucial periods.
A Future in International Management?
In addition to discussing his connection with Manchester United, Solskjaer was also asked about the possibility of one day managing the Norwegian national team. With Ståle Solbakken currently holding the position, Solskjaer respectfully acknowledged the idea of stepping into that role in the future:
> “I am a proud Norwegian, and of course, if the question arises, when Ståle decides to give up, I will happily engage in discussions.”
His pride in his Norwegian roots is evident, and while his next managerial move is yet to be determined, it’s clear that Solskjaer is open to new challenges, whether at the club or international level.
A Treble-Winning Legend
Solskjaer’s legendary status at Manchester United** is rooted in his playing career, most famously during the 1999 Treble-winning season. His iconic stoppage-time goal in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich, which secured a 2-1 victory for United, remains one of the most memorable moments in football history.
Conclusion
As Ole Gunnar Solskjaer contemplates his future, it is clear that his bond with Manchester United endures. While the current manager Erik ten Hag is respected for his role, Solskjaer’s comments have left the door open for a potential return, something many United fans would embrace with open arms.
