Thursday, September 26, 2024 - Legendary Manchester United
striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted he would love to one day return to
the Red Devils as manager.
United had won just one of their past seven Premier League
matches by the time they sacked Solskjaer in November 2021, with his side
seventh in the table, 12 points behind the leaders.
The 51-year-old has yet to return to management since he
left the club but has been linked with numerous vacancies as he contemplates
his next step.
Speaking at a business summit on Thursday, September 26,
Solskjaer didn’t hide away the fact he’d love to return to United one day,
though he fully respects the current manager, Erik ten Hag.
Asked if he would consider taking over United once more in
the future, Solskjaer told the Oslo Business Forum:
“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.”
He was also questioned on the possibility of one day
managing the Norwegian national side, a position currently held by former
international teammate Ståle Solbakken.
“I am a proud Norwegian, and
of course, if the question arises, when Ståle decides to give up, I will
happily engage in discussions. I am a proud Norwegian and proud of where I come
from.”
Solskjaer was a member of the United squad that won the
Treble in the 1999/2000 season.
He scored the winning goal in stoppage time as United came
from a goal down to beat Bayern Munich 2-1 in the 1999 final at the Nou Camp.
