Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly "under consideration" as Manchester United search for a caretaker or interim manager to take over from Ruben Amorim, just over four years after he himself was sacked by the Red Devils. Darren Fletcher will lead the team in the immediate short-term, but the club is expected to name someone else in charge for the coming months, before a final permanent appointment is ultimately made ahead of next season.

In an interview with The Business podcast released on October 9, Manchester United part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe vowed that Ruben Amorim would get "three years to demonstrate he is a great coach", while stressing the need for patience in the club's "long-term plan". Yet here we are, barely three months later, and Amorim has been unceremoniously kicked out of Old Trafford, with United having communicated their belief that "it is the right time to make a change" in order to "give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish".

Leeds appear to have trolled old adversaries Manchester United in the wake of the Red Devils’ decision to sack Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim. His final game at the helm was a Premier League fixture at Elland Road. It is claimed that a meeting with Jason Wilcox ultimately led to his demise, with Leeds taking great pleasure in posting a video on social media of their former winger scoring a goal against Newcastle.

Manchester United players have jumped onto social media channels to thank Ruben Amorim and wish him well for the future after he was sacked in dramatic fashion during an early-morning meeting with club bosses. And while there was clearly lots of warmth towards the exiting manager from most of the squad, there was silence from a few other notable United stars.

Manchester United are searching for a long-term replacement to Ruben Amorim after sacking their boss, and they are also considering their options for who'll lead the club in the short-term until a permanent manager is found. With Darren Fletcher in charge for now, United are weighing up bringing another club legend back to Old Trafford for the rest of the season.
