Manchester United's Future Takes Shape as Solskjær Meets with Club Executives
Manchester United is on the cusp of naming an interim manager, and Ole Gunnar Solskjær is expected to have face-to-face talks with club executives at the Carrington training base this weekend. The Norwegian, who previously served as interim manager from December 2018 to March 2019, is vying with Michael Carrick for the role.
A meeting between Solskjær and Omar Berrada, United's chief executive, along with Jason Wilcox, the director of football, has been scheduled at a key moment in the club's season. The talks are seen as an attempt to determine who will lead the team until the end of the season.
Carrick is considered a strong contender for the job, having impressed Berrada and Wilcox during his recent interview. However, Darren Fletcher cannot be ruled out, despite currently serving as caretaker manager. Fletcher's impressive display at Turf Moor, where he guided United to a draw against Burnley, may have increased his chances.
Solskjær's tenure at Manchester United has been marked by significant success, including two league titles and the 2021 Europa League final appearance. Carrick, who served as part of Solskjær's coaching staff before being promoted, is now poised to take over the reins.
The future role for Solskjær under a potential new manager remains unclear. If Carrick is appointed, it's possible that Solskjær could be offered a role under him as his No 2. However, the details of this potential arrangement are still unknown.
Meanwhile, Fletcher has been focused on preparing United for their upcoming FA Cup tie against Brighton at Old Trafford. In a recent interview, he emphasized his commitment to leading the team and managing expectations about his long-term future at the club.
