Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been spotted at a Premier League club's stadium just days after reportedly turning down a management contract.

Having played for United for more than a decade, Solskjaer returned to the club in 2018 as a manager, spending three years in the role before being replaced by interim manager Ralf Rangnick.

Since being sacked from his role at United, the Norweigan is yet to make a return to management, despite being linked with several clubs.

However, just days after receiving a massive contract offer, Solskjaer has been spotted at a surprise Premier League club's stadium in attendance for their next match.

On Saturday afternoon, Solskjaer was spotted in attendance at the Molineux stadium for Wolverhampton Wanderers upcoming match against newly-promoted Ipswich Town.

His attendance at the match comes just days after the 51-year-old reportedly turned down a 'concrete' opportunity to return for Norwegian side Molde for the fourth time having worked there both as a player and a manager.

According to VG, the president of the Norwegian side, Leif-Arne Langoy, contacted the Solskjaer after sacking previous Erling Moe but didn't receive any response.

Therefore, with Solskjaer seemingly open to receiving management offers once again, it is possible that him attending the Premier League clash at the Molineux may suggest that he is considering a Premier League return in the near future.

Should this be the case, Wolves may be the perfect club for the Norwegian to restart his management career as current boss Gary O'Neil continues to face mounting pressure after a dismal start to the 2024/25 season.

However, it is also possible that Solskjaer is simply attending the game to support Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna who worked under him during his time managing United.

Solskjaer has previously spoken out about where he sees his career going next, claiming that it would take a big offer to convince him to move away from his home in Norway.

"It must be something exciting enough, together with the right people," he said while speaking on the Bakrommet podcast last month.

"But I feel so well now that there must be something that triggers me enough for me to choose to travel from Nordmore [in Norway].

"I think that a national team could suit me, but then it can't be on the other side of the globe."
