Ten Hag out and Solskjaer in, the case to give Man Utd job to Ole until the end of the season

There were few worse losses for Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United than their match against Crystal Palace.

Although injuries have been a factor, the Dutchman has signed seven of Manchester United’s eleven starting.

The current outlook is not promising. Take a look at the schedule of events. Following that, we have Arsenal at home, Newcastle away, Brighton away, and finally, the FA Cup final vs Manchester City at Wembley.

If we keep playing like this, Manchester United probably won’t win a single one of them. Conceptually, Erik ten Hag is at a loss.

In the last seven games, he has scored one. Is there a way to break the team’s slump before the FA Cup final?

While Crystal Palace and Manchester United play in the Premier League, United manager Erik ten Hag takes a mid-match break.

Send Ole Gunnar Solskjaer packing at season’s conclusion
What Manchester United could do is fire Erik ten Hag immediately and hire a temporary manager to finish the season.

In addition to returning several players from injury, this might serve as a much-needed shakeup for the team and have an immediate effect.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was formerly an interim manager but is now the permanent leader, is the best person to answer the call one more time.

Still unemployed, Solskjaer would be quick to accept an offer from Manchester United, just as he did after Jose Mourinho’s dismissal in late 2018.

In his debut encounter as manager, the Norwegian made an immediate effect, leading his team to a 5-1 victory. In his first ten matches, he won nine and tied one.

The team needs a spark, and Solskjaer has shown he can restore morale in a struggling locker room and have an immediate effect.

Nobody is hoping for a repeat performance since in the long run, it failed. After last night’s 4-1 defeat to Watford, it seemed like his last game.

Why not end Erik ten Hag’s suffering now while Ineos is still deciding whether or not to retain him?

If United can win the FA Cup final, they can salvage this season. Would the squad be able to pull it off with a temporary boost and a positive attitude?

One may argue that taking a chance could be worthwhile. What are you afraid of losing now?

The same coaching staff would not be available to Solskjaer.
Even if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer were to return, he would still be unable to use the same coaching staff.

Ipswich Town and Middlesbrough were promoted back-to-back under the leadership of Kieran McKenna and Michael Carrick, respectively. Mike Phelan might be back with Solskjaer if that happens.

Important players like Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford are familiar faces to Solskjaer.

Record vs City: Solskjaer is undefeated
The fact that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a solid record versus Manchester City leading up to the final at Wembley might be used to justify bringing him back.

After Solskjaer was let go, Pep Guardiola made the following statement: “It was a pleasure to face him, he beat us a bit a more than I wanted.”

Solskjaer joined an exclusive group of only three managers in history to defeat Guardiola on both home and away grounds in the same season.

Would it be disastrous if the Norwegian returns? Yes. You also can’t hold Ineos responsible for trying out a risky quick cure.
