Odds slashed on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer making emotional return to Manchester United to replace Ruben Amorim
"The 52-year-old, who also made over 200 appearances for the club as a player, was named interim manager in December 2018 following the sacking of Jose Mourinho. After a successful start he was handed the role full-time, leading the club for nearly three years before being dismissed in November 2021. After a lengthy spell out of the game, he returned at Besiktas in January 2025 but lasted just eight months before being sacked."
"Solskjaer's former United team-mate Darren Fletcher, who is Under-18s coach at Old Trafford, will take charge for tomorrow night's game at Burnley with the club seemingly on the lookout for an interim boss who will then take over till the summer when United will have a much wider pool from which to choose a permanent successor to Amorim. Reports late last night suggested former Norway international Solskjaer would be interested in that interim role."
"Plenty of Manchester United managers since Sir Alex Ferguson have fared worse than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did and the recent move on the Norwegian suggests he might be heading back to Old Trafford. He was 20/1 when the market opened on Monday, but strong support since has seen him backed into a 6/1 chance, with only Darren Fletcher and Oliver Glasner ahead of him in the betting."
Ruben Amorim was sacked, prompting Manchester United to seek an interim manager. Darren Fletcher will take charge for the Burnley match while the club searches for an interim through the summer. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who played over 200 times for United and previously managed the club from December 2018 until November 2021, is reported to be interested in a second spell. Solskjaer returned briefly to management at Besiktas in January 2025 but was dismissed after eight months. Bookmakers have shortened his odds from 20/1 to 6/1, with Fletcher and Oliver Glasner preferred. BetMGM cites recent market support for Solskjaer.
