Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's time as the manager of Manchester United came to an end in 2021, but he hasn't given up hope of returning to the club one day. In fact, he says he would "say yes any day of the week" if given the opportunity to take over at Old Trafford again.
Solskjaer, a former United player, has not been in charge of a team since his departure from the club in November 2021. Despite being sacked after initially taking over as caretaker manager three years earlier, he still holds a special place in his heart for the club where he became a legend.
In an interview with Norwegian outlet NKR, Solskjaer expressed his love for the club and his willingness to help them in any way he can. He stated that if his "family" needs him, he would not hesitate to return to United. He also mentioned that he feels uncomfortable talking about other people's jobs, but when it comes to United, he would have said yes without a second thought.
Since leaving United, Solskjaer has been linked with various managerial positions, including Leicester City, Besiktas, and the Republic of Ireland national team. However, the current Norway boss Stale Solbakken is expected to step down after the 2026 World Cup, and Solskjaer has made it clear that he would be interested in the job if it becomes available.
The 48-year-old was heavily criticized after a disappointing draw against Kazakhstan during the international break in September, along with Norway stars Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard. But despite the criticism, Solskjaer remains proud of his Norwegian heritage and would love to represent his country as their national team manager.
While there have been offers for Solskjaer to return to management, he emphasized the importance of finding the right job and working with the right people. He has spent the last three years learning about himself and attending various lectures and courses with UEFA. He wants to make sure that his next job is the right fit, whether it's at a club or with a national team.
For now, Solskjaer continues to support Manchester United from the sidelines, keeping a close eye on the team he holds so dear. And who knows, maybe one day he will return to Old Trafford, ready to lead the club to even greater success.
