8 Managers Who Could Replace Solskjaer At Man Utd
03 November, 2020
With Manchester United making their worst commence to a Premier League season since David Moyes' tenure, listed below are eight managers the club could turn to should they opt to dismiss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Red Devils have won just two of their first six Premier League matches of the 2020/21 campaign, and are currently 15th on the league table, albeit with a casino game in hand.
Solskjaer has come under major scrutiny for United's 1-0 loss to Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday, with many supporters believing he is not the person to take the club forward.
The Norwegian stepped in as interim manager following Jose Mourinho's sacking in December 2018, and after an impressive run of results, was presented with the job on a long term basis.
Since then, however, the Manchester club has battled for consistency beneath the former Cardiff City and Molde manager, who has sometimes had the opportunity to pull off big results, particularly in the UEFA Champions League.
If he were to be relieved of his duties, locating the perfect fit for the club and team would be no easy feat, but there is a long set of managers who would be interested in or have been linked with the work.
RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann is one of them, as is the currently unemployed Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine has been tipped to take over the helm at the Red Devils on several occasions, and things are no different this time around.
Former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri is also still available, as is another ex-Bianconeri man in Maurizio Sarri. Paris Saint-Germain tactician Thomas Tuchel might also be keen to try his submit the Premier League, in fact it is a choice he could turn to explore sooner instead of later.
The German's relationship with PSG sporting director Leonardo has soured recently, but failure to win the UEFA Champions League could start to see the French giants decide to replace him irrespective of off-field circumstances.
