Yes I would love to Return to Man united – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer opens door to sensational Man Utd return if Erik ten Hag is sacked

Erik ten Hag is coming under increased scrutiny amid a disappointing start to Manchester United’s season, with former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ready to return to Old Trafford

If under pressure Erik ten Hag quits his position as Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said that he would love to take over.

After leading United to an awful campaign in the previous year, Ten Hag has been in charge of a dismal start to the season.

They are now ranked 11th in the table and have only won two Premier League games this season.

In the summer, the Dutchman received a new contract, but only after rumors that he would be fired began to circulate.

Following a disastrous draw in their inaugural Europa League match against FC Twente, Ten Hag’s future has been under increased criticism.

Furthermore, Solskjaer has put himself up for the potentially soon-to-be-vacant United manager’s position.

“If the family [United] asks, I would say yes every day of the week,” Solskjaer said in a Q&A at the Oslo Business Forum. “It feels wrong to talk about jobs that other people have now, but I would say yes, of course.”

Solskjaer spent three years in charge at United after replacing Jose Mourinho, guiding them to a second-place finish in the 2020/2021 campaign. But having failed to win any silverware, he endured a dreadful start to the 2021/2022 season.

After a run of six defeats in 11 games in late-2021, including a 5-0 home defeat against Liverpool, Solskjaer was sacked. As well as United, Solskjaer also has his eye on the Norway manager’s job, with coach Stale Solbakken expected to step down at the end of the country’s 2026 World Cup campaign.

“I am a proud Norwegian, and of course if the question arises, when Ståle decides to give up, I will happily engage in discussions,” Solskjaer added. “I am a proud Norwegian and proud of where I come from.”

“We kept them alive, we were 1-0 up, controlling the game. You We dropped the level and gave the goal away. We are very frustrated. A player of Twente can dribble through almost the whole pitch, or half the pitch, without stopping. That is not acceptable,” he said.

“It’s the first game, it’s very important you get a win. I am only thinking about the performance, what we have to improve and where we have to be more consistent. It’s about building good structures, creating chances to kill teams off.

“We have to build and tomorrow we have to keep going. Tonight was not good enough; we should have won. We kept the opponent alive and we did not finish it off after we went 1-0 up, that’s not good, we know this and we have to learn from this.”
