Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be open to returning to Manchester United as manager, admitting he would say yes every day of the week if the possibility arose.
Solskjaer was dismissed by the Red Devils in November 2021 after just under three years in charge at Old Trafford.
The Norwegian, who initially replaced Jose Mourinho on an interim basis in December 2018, led United to a second-place Premier League finish in the 2020-21 season, but a run of six defeats in 11 matches culminated in his departure.
Erik ten Hag the man who permanently succeeded him at Old Trafford has come under increasing pressure following a difficult start to this term, which has brought just three wins from the Red Devils opening eight games.
And Solskjaer, who has worked as a technica…
Football Manager is back and franchise fans will be ready to sign away all their free time to one of the most engrossing video games ever created.
Lambasted as a series of spreadsheets by people who have never experienced the glory of leading Dulwich Hamlet to the Champions League title, FM19 feels like a new chapter for the long-running management simulation.
Starting a fresh save offers a familiar process to regular FM players, but there is a clear attempt to simplify the admin side for those who have little interest in the nitty-gritty details of management.

Getting their Nations League adventure back underway on Saturday night, Spain will welcome Denmark to the Estadio Enrique Roca.
Spain
Starting with the hosts, making real history over the summer as they were crowned European champions, Spain are in the midst of what has become a sensational fairytale. Making real history on July 14th as they secured a famous 2-1 victory against England in Berlin, La Roja have only continued to shine since their EURO 24 success over the summer. Last seen laying down a real Nations League marker on September 8th as they stormed their way to a 4-1 romp away at Switzerland, Luis de la Fuente’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Already pencilled in as a standout contender to defend their …
With Ligue 1 set to get under way this weekend, eyes across the world will be on Paris Saint-Germain and Neymar, the world-record jewel in the crown of Unai Emery s side.
The Brazil star has swapped Barcelona for the French capital in a bid to escape the shadow of Lionel Messi and stake a claim to be considered the finest footballer on the face of the earth.
While his frankly preposterous €222million price tag has caught most of the headlines, Neymar is sorely mistaken if he believes the spotlight will be his and his alone in what could be a fiercely-contested top flight in 2017-18.
Here, we take a look at five players who could overshadow the 25-year-old in his first season in France. One or two names might surprise you

Vanni Sartini has backed Vancouver Whitecaps to finish high up the table at the end of the season and is targeting a win over high-flying Houston Dynamo.
The Whitecaps currently sit sixth in the Western Conference on 45 points, but only three points separate them and second-place Los Angeles FC.
They are on a three-match unbeaten streak in MLS, though their last defeat in the competition did come against Wednesday s opponents.
Sartini believes his team can continue to challenge for a place at the top given their impressive record this season.
I think I count two games out of 36 where the other team was better than us and where we didn t play well, and it tells us that we do well, Sartini said.
We are having a really great season. The times of hi…
Barcelona will get to host the first Clasico clash against Real Madrid after the full fixture list for the 2021-22 LaLiga season was revealed on Wednesday.
The opening fixture in the rivalry will take place at Camp Nou on October 24, 10 games into the new campaign, with the returning meeting to be held at the Santiago Bernabeu on March 20 next year.
It remains to be seen whether Barca, who will start their season at home to Real Sociedad on the weekend of August 14-15, will still be able to call on Lionel Messi, whose contract with the Catalan club runs out at the end of June.
The 34-year-old is yet to commit to a new deal, though Barca president Joan Laporta has stressed his confidence an agreement will be reached.
Madrid, meanwhile, kick off their sea…
Gianluigi Donnarumma has joined Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer after Italy s Euro 2020 penalty shoot-out hero left Milan.
The Italy international has signed a five-year deal with the Ligue 1 giants after failing to agree fresh terms with the Rossoneri.
Donnarumma had spent his entire senior career to date at San Siro, making 251 appearances for his boyhood club since emerging through their youth ranks in 2015 aged just 16.
But the 22-year-old, who saved spot-kicks from England s Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka in the European Championship final shoot-out, will start a new chapter at the Parc des Princes this coming season.
PSG confirmed the signing on their official website, as Donnarumma said: I am delighted to be part of this huge club.

Santi Cazorla was outstanding against Reading. Can the Spaniard fire the Gunners back into the Champions League places this weekend?
This weekend’s Premier League programme starts at the DW Stadium, where Wigan host Arsenal.
The visitors have won consecutive Premier League games and have moved up to fifth in the table after hammering Reading 5-2 on Monday night.
Wigan are out of form and have lost three out of their last four top flight games. This poor run of form has dragged the Latics into the relegation zone.
However Roberto Martinez’s men are only in the drop zone on goal difference. A win here could majorly boost confidence ahead of a busy festive period.
Manchester City host Reading looking to close the gap at the top of the league to …

The Arizona Cardinals have already started going full tank mode after trading away linebacker Isaiah Simmons and offensive tackle Josh Jones this week. The Cardinals also traded for quarterback Josh Dobbs, which makes me think we will not see Kyler Murray this season.
Expect QBs Colt McCoy, David Blough, and Clayton Tune to once again share reps this week, which is not necessar…
