Despite the fact that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was clearly the best manager for Manchester United since Sir Alex Ferguson, he has not been on a single list of new managers when part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe was forced to sack Erik ten Hag.
After he took over as interim manager from José Mourinho (December 18, 2918), Ole Gunnar Solskjaer asked his players to play freely, but always put the club first.
- 5th place as interim manager
- 3rd place in his first full season
- 2nd place in his second full season
- Topped the table after the first three games of his third season – before United carried out what Sky would describe as the worst transfer business I’ve ever seen as a United supporter.
- We – no, correction: I saw the progress under this man, but the greedy owners did not.
The progress was so clear that it made Pep Guardiola nervous. He has since said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the only Manchester United manager he has been nervous about meeting.

Now as manager of the Turkish big club Besiktas, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can later today Sunday at the Kırbıyık Holding Stadyumu in the face of Alanyaspor secure third place in the Süper Lig, which was the goal set when he took over this winter.
Success in the Süper Lig, which is one of the world’s toughest leagues, next season could once again open up the gates of Old Trafford for the Manchester United legend, as Sir Jim Ratcliffe has no intention of doing anything about disaster manager Ruben Amorim now.
Amorim keeps his job even in the final loss
Manchester United have no plans to sack Ruben Amorim this summer.
This is true even if the team loses the Europa League final, according to The Mirror.
Manchester United are having their worst Premier League season ever, sitting in 16th place with just one game left to play.
The only hope of saving the season – and actually securing Champions League play – lies in winning Wednesday’s Europa League final against bottom rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
United manager Ruben Amorim, who took over the position in November last year, has recently opened up the possibility of resigning voluntarily if results do not improve quickly.

According to the Daily Mirror, Amorim has been given guarantees that he will not lose his job even in the event of a final loss. Leading figures at United believe it would be “madness” to let Amorim take the blame for the team’s historically poor season, the newspaper writes.
They are willing to give Amorim the next season to make their methods work. At the same time, there is disappointment in board circles over the Portuguese’s honest statements that the club may be too big for him.
United finish the Premier League season at home to Aston Villa next Sunday.
So, with success in Turkey for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, it is conceivable that a stubborn old man like Sir Jim Ratcliffe allows himself to be influenced to do something right for once.
