Following a whirlwind 24 hours of speculation, sources have confirmed that the Norwegian legend isn’t just a name on a shortlist—he is currently the leading candidate to take the reins.
"He Said Yes": The Details of the Negotiation
Unlike typical high-profile managerial appointments that get bogged down in legal red tape, this move is moving at lightning speed. Reports suggest that Solskjær’s love for the club has made the "business" side of the deal a formality.
• Official Contact: Direct talks between United’s leadership and Solskjær are well underway.
• No Demands: There are reportedly zero issues regarding contract length or salary.
• The Green Light: Ole has already given his "YES" to the board, signaling he is ready to accept any proposal put in front of him to help steady the ship.
Why Now?
After a period of instability, the United hierarchy appears to be looking for a figure who understands the "United Way." Solskjær, who previously managed the club from 2018 to 2021, remains a beloved figure among the match-going fans. His willingness to step in without demanding a massive payout or long-term guarantees proves his commitment to the badge.
What Happens Next?
With the talks described as "serious" and "advanced," an official announcement could be closer than anyone anticipated. Solskjær has been out of management since leaving United three years ago, despite several offers from across Europe and national teams. It seems he was waiting for only one call—and that call has finally come.
"Ole’s at the wheel" might just be coming back to the Stretford End sooner than we thought.
