Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manchester United are \u2018getting closer\u2019 to appointing a replacement for former head coach Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n
Man Utd<\/a> have been moving quickly to appoint a replacement for Amorim, who was sacked by the Premier League giants on Monday morning.<\/p>\n It was deemed that Amorim<\/a>\u2018s position had become untenable following his reported fallout with director of football Jason Wilcox, while United\u2019s performances and results have been far from good enough over the past 14 months.<\/p>\n Since Amorim\u2019s exit, it has emerged that the Red Devils are looking to appoint an interim manager until the end of this season, at which point they will bring in a long-term successor when stronger candidates are available.<\/p>\n In recent hours, United have been linked with several potential short-term solutions, including Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick and Ruud van Nistelrooy.<\/p>\n However, it has also become clear that former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is likely to take charge until the summer.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0\u2018Ruben Interim\u2019 sacked by Man Utd: The inside story of the inside stories, from Wilcox to \u2018crazy\u2019 Martinez<\/a><\/p>\n On Tuesday evening, a report from The Athletic named Solskjaer as a \u2018leading contender\u2019 to replace Amorim until the summer<\/a>, while talkSPORT are reporting that he is the \u2018clear favourite\u2019.<\/p>\n Respected journalist Ben Jacobs, meanwhile, has indicated that Solskjaer is the \u2018frontrunner following advanced talks\u2019, with the club legend boosted by being backed by two key groups.<\/p>\n Jacobs said on X: \u2018Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a frontrunner for the Manchester United caretaker role following advanced talks. United sources insist there are multiple candidates and a formal face-to-face interview with a preferred choice is still needed before any final decision is taken.<\/p>\n \u2018However, Solskjaer has the support of senior #MUFC players and some high-profile club legends.<\/p>\n \u2018Michael Carrick and Ruud Van Nistelrooy are two other names under consideration.\u2019<\/p>\n MORE MANCHESTER UNITED COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Romano provided more details on Tuesday night, claiming Solskjaer is \u201cgetting closer\u201d to a Man Utd return after insisting he has \u201cno problem\u201d with three details.<\/p>\n \u201cThe return from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is really, really a concrete possibility and getting closer after Ole offered himself to Manchester United, as I told you yesterday, today, I spoke to you about contacts, about this possibility becoming real,\u201d Romano said on his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat happened over the afternoon and over the evening is that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, his representatives, and Manchester United have been in contact.<\/p>\n \u201cSo the discussion, the negotiation is underway, and Solskjaer is understood to be the leading candidate to become the new Manchester United manager, of course, in that case, interim caretaker manager till the end of the season, and then Man Utd will make a permanent appointment in summer 2026 with a big name.<\/p>\n \u201cSo this is the idea.
