Alan Shearer has warned Manchester United to be “really careful” amid reports linking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with an interim return to Old Trafford.
The former United striker is said to be in contention for a short-term role as the club weighs up its next steps. Solskjaer, who previously managed United, has been mentioned as a potential option to steady the side on a temporary basis.
Speaking about the prospect of bringing Solskjaer back, Shearer made his feelings clear and questioned the logic of such a move.
“It would be a really strange appointment,” Shearer said, urging United to think carefully before making any decision that could carry long-term consequences.
Shearer’s warning comes as Solskjaer reportedly bids for an interim return, with United linked to a number of possibilities while considering what direction to take.
United have yet to make any official announcement, but Shearer believes the club must be cautious about the message an interim choice would send and the impact it could have on the wider plan.
