Manchester United are reportedly closing in on a stunning appointment, with former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer emerging as the clear frontrunner to take over as caretaker manager.

Ruben Amorim was sacked on Monday following his explosive interview post Leeds United draw.

What has followed is a whirlwind 24 hours of drama and speculation, reports from multiple outlets indicate that the Norwegian is in advanced negotiations to step back into the dugout at Old Trafford, just over four years after his departure.

According to reliable journalist Ben Jacobs, Solskjaer is now the leading candidate for the interim role following “advanced talks” with the club hierarchy.

While United sources stress that no final decision has been made and a formal face-to-face interview is still required the momentum is clearly shifting toward a reunion.

Jacobs notes that while other names such as Michael Carrick and Ruud van Nistelrooy remain under consideration, Solskjaer’s availability and deep connection to the club have placed him at the front of the queue.
