Thu Sep 26 15:05:01 UTC 2024: ## Solskjaer Open to Manchester United Return Amid Ten Hag’s Struggles
**Oslo, Norway** – Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has expressed his willingness to return to Old Trafford, should the club make an approach. This comes amid growing pressure on current manager Erik ten Hag, who has struggled to maintain consistency in his second season at the helm.
Solskjaer, who led United to a second-place finish in the Premier League in 2020-21, was dismissed in November 2021 following a poor run of results. However, he remains a popular figure amongst fans and has admitted that he would “say yes every day of the week” if offered the job again.
“It feels wrong to talk about jobs that other people have now, but I would say yes, of course,” Solskjaer said during a Q&A session at the Oslo Business Forum.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag has urged patience from United supporters, highlighting the young age of his squad and the need for time to develop. “We have to build them. That takes time,” he said. “I am impatient, I want to go straight forward but also we had success in two seasons.”
Solskjaer, who has been working as a technical observer for UEFA since leaving United, has also expressed interest in becoming the Norway national team manager when the current coach, Stale Solbakken, steps down after the 2026 World Cup campaign.
The possibility of Solskjaer’s return to Old Trafford is likely to spark debate among United supporters. While some may welcome the prospect of the Norwegian’s return, others may feel that a new manager is required to steer the club towards sustained success.
