Manchester United have been told it would be 'crazy' to reappoint Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as interim boss, with pundit Danny Murphy instead suggesting Roy Keane or Michael Carrick. The club sacked Ruben Amorim earlier this week, and Darren Fletcher has been placed in caretaker charge for the upcoming FA Cup match against Brighton.
Solskjaer, who managed United from 2018 to 2021, is the frontrunner to take over until the end of the season. The club have also held talks with Carrick, who is available after being sacked by Middlesbrough earlier in the season.
Murphy, a Match of the Day pundit, said: 'Well the Solskjaer one coming back is crazy. I mean Man United paid him to leave because he ultimately failed and now they're going to pay him to come back?' He added that Keane, though potentially chaotic, is a leader the fans would love to see return.
Former Liverpool and Blackburn defender Stephen Warnock also questioned the logic, saying he understands waiting for options like Thomas Tuchel, Carlo Ancelotti, or Mauricio Pochettino after the World Cup, but cannot comprehend a move for Solskjaer.
Fletcher confirmed he will be in charge for the Brighton game, stating: 'I've spoken to the board, and I'll be in charge for the Brighton game, and then we'll take it from there. It's one game at a time.'
