Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s representatives have offered the former Manchester United boss to one of Europe’s most historic sides, it has been claimed.

It has been over two years since Solskjaer was sacked at United, following a topsy-turvy spell in charge at Old Trafford.

Solskjaer initially became caretaker boss at United in 2018 following the departure of Jose Mourinho.

But an impressive three-month spell saw the Norwegian offered a permanent deal. Solskjaer was in charge until November 2021, at which point he too was sacked.

He hasn't managed another club since.

However, fan podcast, Pantelic Podcast, has claimed the 50-year-old has been offered to the Dutch giants Ajax to become their new manager.

The podcast added that at present, it is not known whether ​​Solskjaer’s alleged interest has been reciprocated.

Speaking on Stick to Football, brought to you by SkyBet, Solskjaer admitted he has been offered a "few" managerial roles in the recent past.

He said: "I have a few offers but I'm not ready.

"It's got to be somewhere I can be myself not like anyone dictating 'you need to do this, you need to do that'.

"Because when you have been at United and managed them. You learn a few things and you want to do it your way the next time."

Solskjaer was linked to Besiktas in January, while he has revealed he rejected two offers from the Saudi Pro League.

The Norwegian said previously via the Sun: "I've had offers. Most recently, two from Saudi Arabia.

"My best mate, who is also my agent, sifts through them. If you've managed Man Utd, you put your own criteria about what you want to work with. I love England and the Premier League.

"Even the Championship feels stronger than ever, but I don't feel bound to England. Maybe a different challenge where I need to experience a new culture and learn a new language.

"The DNA and identity of the club are important, a club where I can be the best me. It has to be a match.

"Maybe I made the wrong decision to go to Cardiff, for example, where there was a clash of identities and styles.

"What I miss most is working with good people, coming in every day, discussing football and putting a plan together for the next game.

"It's not just about formations, but creating a culture where the staff enjoy their job and building a team together."
