The former coach of Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted he would not turn down a proposal from Manchester United to return as manager.
The 51-year-old has revealed that he has not coached any team since he was sacked by the Red Devils in November 2021.
Solskjaer was dismissed following a run of six losses in 11 matches, including a 5-0 home defeat against Liverpool.

With Erik ten Hag now under increasing pressure at Old Trafford after just three wins in eight games this season, Solskjaer has said that he would not rule out a return.
“If the family [United] asks, I would say yes every day of the week,” Solskjaer said in a Q&A at the Oslo Business Forum.
“It feels wrong to talk about jobs that other people have now, but I would say yes, of course.”
In other news, Friedkin Group, a United States firm has revealed that they have acquired and would be taking over Everton after reaching a full-scale agreement to purchase owner Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1 per cent stake.
The takeover is also expected to be completed before the end of 2024 and will end Moshiri’s eight-year reign at Goodison Park. The British-Iranian businessman is understood to have also reduced his asking price out of his belief that the American company, run by Dan Friedkin, represented the best owners for Everton.
Moshiri, a former Arsenal shareholder, first bought a 49.9% stake in Everton in 2016. By January 2022, he had increased his stake to 94.1% with a £100m capital injection.
Last year, the Miami-based investment fund 777 Partners said it had signed an agreement to acquire his stake, but the deal fell through when the agreement expired amid delays in meeting the necessary conditions outlined by the Premier League.
