Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could sign 5 Man Utd stars after finally landing new job
Share:
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is finally back in the dugout - over three years after his Manchester United exit. The Norwegian was sacked by the Red Devils in November 2021 and has bided his time before returning to football. But he has now been confirmed as the new head coach of Turkish giants Besiktas.
Solskjaer certainly has a big job on his hands in Istanbul. Besiktas already find themselves 20 points behind Galatasaray - who have only dropped four points all season - in the race for the Turkish crown. But he could receive a helping hand from his former employers as he attempts to turn things around with his new club. Take a look at five Man United players that Solskjaer could take with him to Besiktas either in January or in the summer:.
Once upon a time a £31m defender, Swedish centre-back Victor Lindelof looks set to leave Old Trafford for nothing. The 31-year-old finds himself way down the pecking order at United having made just five Premier League outings this term. His contract is up at the end of the campaign and a fresh start looks best for all parties. Lindelof has been linked with a Premier League move - Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester among those reportedly interested.
But a call from Solskjaer might tempt him into moving to Turkey. And while he hasn’t had the best time of things recently, he would be an excellent signing for Besiktas. Will Solskjaer be a success with Galatasaray? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
Another out of contract at the end of the season, Christian Eriksen’s time at Old Trafford looked limited following the signing of Manuel Ugarte and emergence of Kobbie Mainoo. The 32-year-old has already been linked with a few clubs including Celtic.
