Manchester United’s rough start under Ruben Amorim has reached breaking point.
The Portuguese coach is under immense pressure to be dismissed after a run of poor results, including the heavy derby defeat to Manchester City.
For many fans, the solution seems obvious — bring back Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The debate around Solskjaer has rumbled on for years, but the latest crisis has given it fresh energy.
Supporters flooded social media calling for Amorim sacking and posting old clips, quotes, and stats to prove the Norwegian was not given enough credit during his first spell.
Some even argued that his record stacks up far better than Amorim’s reign so far at Old Trafford.

What Man United demand?
Fans believe Solskjaer should be handed the chance to steady the ship once again.
One X user wrote (@UTDMaI): “Getting rid of Ole Gunnar Solskjær for whoever was the biggest mistake we ever made as a club.”
Another pointed to his unbeaten away streak and top-four finishes, insisting United “played their most enjoyable football” under him.
Ex-player turned pundit Jamie O’Hara joined the chorus, telling talkSPORT: “This is the worst Man United team I’ve seen… Get Ole back in. They can’t carry on doing this.”
His comments reflect the mood of many who feel United need stability more than a radical rebuild.
A divided fanbase
Not everyone is fully convinced. Some argue Ole’s time has passed and fear a repeat of old mistakes.
His troubled stint at Besiktas earlier this year has also been raised as a warning sign. But others point out that Amorim’s record — just 17 wins in 47 games — makes Solskjaer’s numbers look much stronger.
Behind the noise, reports suggest INEOS may explore other candidates such as Oliver Glasner, Gareth Southgate, or even Mauricio Pochettino.
Yet the demand for Solskjaer shows no sign of slowing.
The “Baby-faced Assassin” still carries goodwill for moments like the comeback in Paris and the unbeaten league runs.
Whether nostalgia alone is enough to secure him a second spell remains to be seen. For now, United face a familiar mountain to climb — and fans believe Ole might just be the man who knows the route.
