Solskjaer might be interested in the caretaker job

The Baby Faced Assassin is a legend at Old Trafford, thanks to his exploits there as a player. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a part of folklore at Manchester United and his appointment would boost the club, its fans and even some of the players who have grown up in awe of the Norwegian.

He is currently in contention to take the caretaker job and would be the perfect man to guide the Red Devils to glory.

After winning almost everything during his time at Old Trafford, Solskjaer made the transition to management by taking charge of the reserves in 2008. He moved to Molde in 2011 for his first managerial job, where he was quite successful, winning the League twice and also the Norwegian Football Cup once.

He took the job at Cardiff City in the Premier League in January 2014, but could not save his club from relegation. He moved back to Molde in 2015 and is currently in charge of the Norwegian club.

Solskjaer might seek the caretaker job as a means to redeem his managerial career and as of now, he is the front-runner for the job.
