"The Sun" reported that the 52-year-old former Manchester United coach Solskjaer recently appeared in the British Championship and watched the game between Ipswich and Norwich. In addition, the article revealed that Manchester United had considered Solskjaer before appointing Amorin, and Solskjaer would also be one of the candidate coaches if Amorin was dismissed.

British media stated that the main purpose of Solskjaer's trip is to support his former assistant at Manchester United and current Ipswich coach Kieran McKenna.

Just a few weeks ago, Solskjaer had just ended his short-lived coaching career of only seven months in Besiktas, Türkiye.

It is understood that before Manchester United finally appointed Amorin, the club's senior management had considered letting Solskjaer return to coach. If Amorin is dismissed in the future, Solskjaer may be a candidate for the new coach.
