Unsurprisingly, Manchester United announced on Sunday the departure of their coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after a series of poor results, including a loss (4-1) on Saturday at the poorly classified Watford.
"Ole will forever be a legend at Manchester United and it is with regret that we have made this difficult decision," the club wrote in a statement.
Arrived in December 2018 after José Mourinho who had left a demotivated and disunited club, the Norwegian had managed to improve his results, taking him to the final of the Europa League and to 2nd place in the championship last season.
But despite heavy investments in recruitment this summer (Raphaël Varane, Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo), the club is currently seventh in the championship, twelve lengths behind leader Chelsea, after twelve days.
Carrick takes the interim, Zidane and Pochettino targeted for the sequel
United have won just four of their last thirteen games in all competitions and have often delivered dismal performances, lacking in soul, desire and ideas.
Protected for a long time by the fact that the club could not find him a credible and immediately available replacement, Solskjaer did not resist another distressing meeting on Saturday.
It is one of his assistants and a former captain of the Red Devils, Michael Carrick, who will act as interim for the next games.
United also specifies that he is currently looking for a coach to end the season.
According to the English press, Zinedine Zidane would be Mancuniens' priority to lead their team, but he would not be very interested at the moment.
Other names that keep coming up are Leicester coach Brendan Rodgers, Ajax Amstedam Erik Ten Hag, and even Paris SG, Mauricio Pochettino, but their situation is more likely to change this summer. than during the season.
