Ole Gunnar Solskjær could make a shock return to Manchester United as interim manager, with director of football Jason Wilcox considering him a prime candidate. Negotiations between Solskjær's camp and the club are believed to be underway.
Senior players, led by Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire, would welcome his temporary appointment. Solskjær is intent on taking the role and would hope to make it permanent if successful, mirroring his 2018 caretaker spell that led to a permanent contract.
Solskjær led United to two top-three finishes and a Europa League final in his previous tenure before being sacked in 2021. He is currently out of work after leaving Besiktas in August.
Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher are also candidates. Fletcher, caretaker for the Burnley match, said he sought Sir Alex Ferguson's blessing and acknowledged the scrutiny at United. He confirmed Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount are available for selection.
