Manchester United have been recommended a \u2018shock call\u2019 over their next manager after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took drastic action and made \u2018wage demands\u2019.<\/p>\n
If that doesn\u2019t sound particularly like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, prepare to be stunned.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Are you Gunnar be my girl?<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite Gabriel Martinelli\u2019s best \u201cmore than disrespectful efforts\u201d<\/strong><\/a> there was ultimately little of interest coming out of the goalless draw between Arsenal and Liverpool.<\/p>\n It was the dampest of squibs<\/strong><\/a> which ultimately maintained Arsenal\u2019s six-point gap at the top of the Premier League table and kept Liverpool in the Champions League places. All the rest about title \u2018chokes\u2019<\/strong><\/a> and Arne Slot embarking on the least convincing unbeaten run in history is pure conjecture.<\/p>\n But the Manchester United clown car keeps motoring along, presumably now sliding all over the place in the snow while Sir Jim Ratcliffe indulges in some elite-level billionaire backseat driving.<\/p>\n The Daily Mirror website<\/strong>\u00a0has landed on a particular way of selling their updates, as is made clear by these headlines:<\/p>\n \u2018Man Utd to hold fresh Carrick talks as Solskjaer twist emerges in race to replace Amorim\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018Solskjaer completely scraps management return plan after Man Utd twist\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The first \u2018twist\u2019 is that Solskjaer remains the favourite but Carrick is not out of the running<\/strong><\/a>. The second seems to be that Ruben Amorim has been sacked. And obviously no-one saw that \u2018twist\u2019 coming at the time it happened on Monday, never mind while the dust is still settling on Friday.<\/p>\n The \u2018completely scraps management return plan\u2019 bit is also wonderful nonsense. The story is basically that Solskjaer had no intention of returning to coaching until actual Manchester United contrived to manufacture a situation of such absurd panic that he became a candidate to take over again.<\/p>\n In short, the bloke who accidentally became Manchester United manager for almost three years having previously been in charge of only Molde and Cardiff, and whose only role since ended in his being sacked by Besiktas after seven months in August, was not contemplating managing any time soon until a job he would otherwise never be considered for somehow came back into his orbit.<\/p>\n It might be that Solskjaer wasn\u2019t thinking about returning to management because no club was thinking about making him their manager.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Benjamin on the button<\/strong><\/p>\n The one man everyone obviously wants to hear from with regards to the Manchester United manager situation<\/strong><\/a> is Benjamin \u2018The Soothsayer\u2019 Sesko.<\/p>\n The Daily Mirror website<\/strong> again deliver the goods here, as \u2018Benjamin Sesko makes new Man Utd manager prediction with four-word hint\u2019.<\/p>\n Right then, this should be fun. Mediawatch has a top four \u2018four-word hints\u2019 in order of preference here:<\/p>\n 1) \u201cOle\u2019s at the wheel.\u201d<\/p>\n 2) \u201cCarrick was always underrated.\u201d<\/p>\n 3) \u201cWho is Darren Fletcher?\u201d<\/p>\n 4) \u201cPhone Sir Alex first.\u201d<\/p>\n Go on then, let\u2019s have it. Over to you, Benjamin\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cGreat things are coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Oh for fu\u2026<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Waging war<\/strong><\/p>\n Mediawatch really does enjoy, by the way, the Daily Mirror website<\/strong> suggestion that \u2018Solskjaer\u2019s wage demands emerge as Man Utd \u2018offer ex-manager huge bonus\u201d.<\/p>\n To make this expressly clear, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has and will be making no \u2018wage demands\u2019 here. The bloke would pay to manage Manchester United again, and Ratcliffe is probably trying to engineer that as we speak now the seed has been planted.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n He who smelt it<\/strong><\/p>\n Top of the MailOnline<\/strong> website is this offering:<\/p>\n \u2018Roy Keane blames Sir Alex Ferguson \u2018hanging on like a bad smell\u2019 for Man United\u2019s decline and bad decisions \u2013 after stand-in manager Darren Fletcher called him for advice\u2026 and Daniel Sturridge\u2019s reaction says it all!\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n And, well, no. It\u2019s just not what he said, is it?<\/p>\n Keane definitely had a go at Ferguson and the deferential way he is still seen and treated by Manchester United<\/strong><\/a>, but he absolutely at no stage \u2018blamed\u2019 him for this mess.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Howe\u2019s that then?<\/strong><\/p>\n Keane also made a \u2018shock call\u2019 in revealing his preferred next Manchester United manager, according to the Manchester Evening News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n You really might want to sit down before being told that Keane thinks a 48-year-old, English, trophy-winning manager with extensive Premier League experience and plenty of games coached in the Champions League might be a decent appointment.<\/p>\n\n
