“Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Is BACK!” – Manchester United confirm HUGE good news at Old Trafford as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer officially signs again, sending fans into total meltdown
Manchester United find themselves once more in search of a manager capable of restoring the club to genuine Premier League and European prominence.
Following the turbulent spell under Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils are looking to appoint a permanent head coach, though such an appointment isn’t anticipated until the summer months arrive.
In the immediate term, United are pursuing an interim manager to guide the club through what remains of the 2025/26 campaign, after which the managerial landscape will broaden considerably and the club can conduct a more exhaustive search.
One potential candidate for the interim role is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a former fan favorite who enjoyed a distinguished playing career at Manchester United before being appointed manager in 2018. He remained in charge until his departure in 2021, delivering respectable results but ultimately falling short of restoring United to their former glory.
The Sporting News examines Solskjaer’s previous tenure at the club, assesses his suitability for the interim position, and considers his standing in the longer-term search for a permanent manager.
**Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United record**
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s record at Manchester United didn’t quite meet the exacting standards expected by the storied club and its passionate supporters, though his overall statistics were reasonably impressive.
He achieved a 55% victory rate across all competitions, including winning just over half of his 109 Premier League matches in charge. Sir Alex Ferguson himself secured victory in approximately 65% of his league fixtures and attained legendary status, meaning Solskjaer’s figures aren’t drastically inferior by comparison.
The Norwegian also guided the club to the semi-finals of both the FA Cup and League Cup in 2020, and took them all the way to the Europa League final in 2021.
