New York, USA – September 22, 2025
In a bombshell announcement straight from Old Trafford, Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson has officially demanded the club’s board reinstate former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær as head coach. The iconic Scottish manager, whose unparalleled success defined an era at United, has thrown his full support behind the Norwegian, insisting he is the perfect fit to lead the Red Devils back to glory with the current squad.
Ferguson’s declaration came during a high-profile interview, where he stated unequivocally: “Of all the coaches that have taken over after my tenure, Ole Gunnar Solskjær deserves a second chance. The board and I were too harsh on him. He had, and still has, the potential to turn things around with this current squad. He needs to be assigned back as United coach or interim coach immediately.”
This endorsement from the man who won 13 Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues has sent shockwaves through the global soccer community. Solskjær, a former United player turned manager, is celebrated for restoring the club’s attacking identity and pride during his previous stint. He guided the team to a second-place finish in the Premier League—their highest since Ferguson’s retirement—along with multiple semi-final appearances and a Europa League final. Though trophies eluded him, Solskjær rebuilt the squad from post-Ferguson chaos, nurturing stars like Marcus Rashford and stabilizing the locker room with fearless, fast-paced football that echoed Old Trafford’s storied traditions.
The call arrives amid Manchester United’s dire struggles under current boss Ruben Amorim. Heavy defeats to rivals, erratic form, and tactical missteps have plunged the club into crisis, frustrating fans worldwide—including here in the US, where the Glazer family, the American owners, face mounting scrutiny for their decisions. Ferguson’s words have intensified the pressure on the board to act swiftly.
Fans are rallying in full force. One passionate supporter told reporters: “The board now realizes their mistake. Ole has always been the best man for the job. They forced him out too soon. Bring him back before it’s too late.” Social media is ablaze with #BringBackOle trending globally, as thousands demand the Glazers heed Ferguson’s wisdom.
Solskjær’s return would mark a triumphant homecoming, leveraging his deep club knowledge to harness the young, talented roster. With players like Bruno Fernandes and emerging prospects, experts agree he could deliver the stability and success United craves.
The board’s next move is critical. Sticking with Amorim risks further decline, while embracing Ferguson’s vision could reignite the club’s dynasty. As the most influential voice in United’s history speaks, the future hangs in the balance—and the world is watching.
