Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly received an offer to return to management.

The Norwegian has been out of work since he was sacked in November 2021 by Manchester United after a dire run of results.

United had lost lost five games out of seven, with a 4-1 defeat to Watford proving to be the final straw.

Solskjaer has had plenty of offers to return to management but has not been tempted as of yet.

However, fresh reports from journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu of Sports Digitele claim that a one-and-a-half-year contract from Turkish side Besiktas is on the table.

There is no word on what Solskjaer's response is at this point.

Last year the ex Cardiff City boss was linked with the Iran national team, before he was tipped to take the Norway women's national team job.

United legend Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford, initially on a caretaker basis before landing the gig full-time.

He finished with a 54% win percentage from the 168 games he managed and led United to a second-placed Premier League finish in 2020/21.

However, he was unable to end United's hunt for a trophy - losing in the semi-finals of the Europa League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

There was also the 2021 Europa League final defeat to Villarreal on penalties in Gdansk, where Solskjaer has his one major regret.

Speaking to The Athletic in a wide-ranging interview, he said: "I’ve not watched it back. Not that one. Or Liverpool, Spurs or Watford. No chance. I watched the rest, we were a decent side.

"But I should have started or at least brought on Nemanja Matic against Villarreal. That game was for him. I didn’t choose him because I felt others deserved it.

"It’s difficult to leave players out but you have to take risks. I risked kids for the final game of 2020-21 at Wolves, risked an unbeaten away record. I was proud of how those kids reacted (in a 2-1 win)."

Solskjaer has been working as a Technical Observer for UEFA in recent times.
