"I mean, Man Utd paid him to leave because he ultimately failed and then they're going to pay him to come back. It seems ridiculous when you've got options like Michael Carrick and then obviously you've got someone like (Roy) Keane who the fans would love to come back. Okay some people might think that would be a bit chaotic, but he's a leader they need someone to galvanise everybody, and I'm not sure Solskjaer's the man to do that."
"Murphy said he thought it was ridiculous to be going back in for Solskjaer after they'd previously sacked him. The Norwegian tactician, also a former Man Utd player, had an initial spell as interim manager after Jose Mourinho was sacked at Old Trafford, and he then ended up getting the job permanently. However, things ended badly for him as he was sacked in November 2021, so it does seem strange to turn to him now when things are looking even worse."
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer previously served as interim manager after Jose Mourinho's dismissal, earned the permanent role, and was sacked in November 2021 after a deteriorating record. Rehiring him as another interim is criticized as illogical given his prior failure and the club's worsening situation. Alternatives cited include Michael Carrick and Roy Keane, with Keane presented as a potential galvanizing leader despite perceived chaos. Concerns include paying Solskjaer to leave and then rehiring him, and doubts that he can unify and motivate the squad. The club faces pressure to choose a credible, commanding caretaker to steady the team.
