Man United may consider sensational decision to bring back Solskjaer

What began as speculation has now been confirmed: Manchester United has parted ways with Erik ten Hag. Now, speculation abounds regarding the next manager of the Red Devils, with some surprising names in the mix.

Details: According to Manchester Evening News, Old Trafford could see the return of Ole Gunnar Solskjær as head coach. The reasoning stems from United’s substantial severance package to ten Hag, which limits their ability to buy out the contract of a top-tier manager currently employed elsewhere, and the limited options available among free-agent managers.

Reminder: Besides Solskjaer, Gareth Southgate, the former England manager, and ex-Barcelona coach Xavi have also been linked to the United role. For now, as United searches for a long-term successor, Ruud van Nistelrooy will serve as the interim head coach at Old Trafford.
