Manchester United’s debacle under Ruben Amorim looks no closer to an end after enduring their worst start in 33 years. Fans of the 20-time Premier League champions are urging the club to re-sign former coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after showing proof that the Norwegian manager was sacked prematurely in 2021.
Amorim’s Manchester United have gotten off to their worst Premier League start in 33 years after the 3-0 loss to local rivals Manchester City, keeping them at 14th on the table with four points from the same number of games.
Fans are now pointing out that former boss Solskjaer was unfairly booted out in 2021 and have urged the Red Devils to replace Amorim with the Norwegian coach, who is currently out of a job after being sacked by Besiktas.

@jonmikesav8 added: “I see quite a few are suggesting we have short memories regarding Solskjaer’s time at UTD. They are quoting the results that cost him his job. That’s fair. But what is also fair is the 10 wins from 11 at the start. Also, the 29-game unbeaten away streak. And a lot of it was glorious.”
@UtdDefence wrote: “Look at the standards. 168 games Solskjaer managed. From 168, they found six really bad results to classify his tenure as a disaster. Three of those had Red Cards which affected the nature of the outcome. You know what, Ole might actually have been doing an even better job than I remembered.”
The X user added: “Why are people scared to openly speak the truth? THE MOST ENJOYABLE FOOTBALL AND FOOTBALL CLOSE TO BEING WORTHY OF MANCHESTER UNITED IN THE POST-SIR ALEX ERA WAS PLAYED UNDER OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER. There, I said it. Hate me all you want.”
Ex-Premier League midfielder Jamie O’Hara holds similar sentiments. “This is the worst Man United team I’ve seen,” O’Hara said on talkSPORT. “Honestly. I can’t believe Ruben Amorim is still in charge, honestly, when are they going to let it go?
“When are they going to just…do what Sheffield United have done, just swallow their pride [and say] ‘we got this wrong?’ Get Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer] back…get Ole back in. They can’t carry on doing this. They’ll go down. They’ll be playing Rotherham next season.”
Despite Manchester United fans asking for Solskjaer to be brought back to Old Trafford, according to The Mirror, there is a list of candidates to succeed Amorim but the Norwegian doesn’t make the cut.
The list includes names such as Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, former England head coach Gareth Southgate, Fulham’s Marco Silva and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, with ex-Tottenham boss and current USA head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, also said to be considered.
