Football journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that the 52-year-old is seeking a temporary six-month contract and is “under consideration” as the club evaluates options for an interim appointment ahead of the next season.
Solskjaer, who left Besiktas in August, is currently without a club.
United are understood to be aware of his interest as discussions continue regarding a suitable short-term managerial solution.
In the immediate term, former United midfielder Darren Fletcher is expected to oversee the squad while the club finalises a caretaker or interim manager.
A permanent appointment is anticipated before the start of next season.
Solskjaer’s potential return would mark a dramatic reunion with the club he famously managed between 2018 and 2021, during which he stabilised the team and delivered memorable performances in domestic and European competitions.

Manchester United supporters and football observers are now watching closely as deliberations progress over who will take charge of the club in the coming months.
In a decisive move aimed at alleviating the economic burdens of retired public servants, Zamfara State Governor, Dr Dauda Lawal, has officially approved increased monthly pension payments for all former workers from both state and local government offices. The approval follows an extensive financial review of retirees’ living conditions, with particular attention to those in lower-income brackets who have been disproportionately affected by the prevailing cost-of-living crisis.
The decision was precipitated by the findings and recommendations of a special committee empaneled to evaluate the welfare situation of pensioners across the state. The committee’s report highlighted acute financial distress among aging retirees and called for immediate remedial action. In response, the state government has authorized a substantive upward adjustment in monthly pension stipends.
This increment aligns seamlessly with the Federal Government’s Minimum Wage Act of 2024, which explicitly recommended an additional monthly sum of at least N32,000 for pensioners. Governor Lawal has opted for full implementation of this advisory for all retired state and local government employees a policy intervention expected to benefit thousands of households across Zamfara. The state government has subsequently issued binding directives to all relevant agencies to ensure the expeditious and seamless disbursement of the enhanced payments without procedural delays.
Speaking on the development, the Honourable Commissioner for Information and Culture, Mahmud Muhammad Dantawasa, characterized the policy as a tangible demonstration of Governor Lawal’s unwavering commitment to improving the quality of life for both active and former government workers. According to the Commissioner, the administration operates on the principle that dignified retirement includes access to basic necessities and financial comfort. Beneficiaries across all local government areas have been assured of prompt payment once implementation commences.
