Manchester United are currently preparing for life after Ruben Amorim, with the Portuguese receiving his marching orders on Monday.
Current United U18 boss and former midfielder Darren Fletcher has been given charge until INEOS can find a suitable replacement.
The plan is to hire an interim employee until the end of the current campaign, before attempting to hire someone permanently over the summer, as there will be a greater number of options to choose from.
Treble winner and former United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly the favorite to take over temporarily, with INEOS even meeting the Norwegian to discuss the possibility.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer returns
Interestingly enough, according to Talking sportthe ex-Besiktas boss is keen to be added to the list of regular targets, provided he does well during his time on the hot seat.
His appointment has the support of several superstars in the squad, including skipper Bruno Fernandes and former captain Harry Maguire. Both were brought to the club by the 52-year-old.
Interestingly, pundits and ex-players such as Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville have also expressed their support for the appointment.
“Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is getting closer to a sensational return to Manchester United, talkSPORT understands.
He has the support of superstars and experts
“Former Red Devils player and manager Solskjaer is in advanced talks to become United’s interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
“Solskjaer has the backing of several first-team players, including captain Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire. It is thought that fellow club legends, including Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville, have also thrown their support behind their ex-teammate.
“The Norwegian fans’ favorite hopes that if he does well, he will be considered for the job full-time.”
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had guided the club to third and second places in the Premier League, the first time the club had achieved back-to-back top-four finishes following the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.
