Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was seen in the stands at Molineux during Wolverhampton Wanderers’ match against Ipswich Town, sparking speculation about a potential managerial role.
Solskjaer’s Current Situation
Solskjaer has been out of management since his dismissal from Manchester United in November 2021. Earlier reports suggested that the Norwegian, now 51, was offered a return to his former club Molde, but he turned down the opportunity. His recent appearance at Molineux has fueled rumors amid Wolves’ ongoing struggles in the Premier League.
Wolves’ Poor Form
Wolves have endured a difficult start to the 2024/25 season, winning only two of their first 15 league games. They currently sit 19th in the table with just nine points, placing significant pressure on manager Gary O’Neil. While the club has publicly stated its intention to give O’Neil more time, Solskjaer’s presence at the game has heightened speculation about a possible change in management.
Context of Solskjaer’s Visit
According to journalist Andy Mitten, Solskjaer’s visit was part of a “long-planned trip” to England. He reportedly attended the game to catch up with friends at Ipswich Town and spend time with his son, a fan of the Tractor Boys.
What’s Next for Wolves?
As Wolves prepare for their next Premier League fixture against Leicester City on December 22, questions remain over whether the club is seriously considering Solskjaer as a replacement for O’Neil. For now, fans and pundits alike will be watching closely as Wolves navigate their challenging season.
