BBC News channel seem to think Ole is the favourite.
Who should the caretaker manager be?

Radio silence from OGS’ agent. Media can’t reach him.
Are we 7? People like Neville and Scholes "talk shit" because they care about the club. Berbatov was on TV defending Lukaku's draught and Mourinho. I'd rather take a "shit talking scholes" who wanted the manager out back in October than yes men like Berbatov.
Molde’s season is over until March, could go back there in May, 2 month sabbatical. Not ideal. But now could also be a good time to move on, I.e. not mid-season.
It’s a massive job compared to what he has and if it goes well he won’t be short of offers.
I love Ole like everyone else. Club legend. I'm just not sure this is the right move. Maybe one day he would be ready I just don't think he is right now. Managing United or any big club is a massive job and very few people can do it and be successful. I remember Rene Mulenstein making the analogy when Moyes came from Everton that "It was like going from a yacht to a cruise ship." No different in this situation. Top 4 is gone but the FA Cup is still there and the number one thing that has to be done now is to get back to playing proper football and getting the players confidence back which was obviously lacking under Jose. Blanc should be the choice out of the names mentioned but if it is Ole then I wish him well and will support him.
He has done great things even before Monaco, surely leaving a mark at Braga, Olympiakos (remeber when they stunned Arsenal at CL?), and Sporting before making the jump to a depleted Monaco.
Way more proven than Ole, and maybe a better name than Blanc since the frenchman doesn't coach since 2016.
Ole as interim cannot be bad right? I mean we're at rock bottom. Any sign of improvement is appreciated.
Ole + Phelan will do a pretty good job stabilizing the place for rest of season. Surelywe shouldn't expect much more than that. At this time we get our Dof and see which permanent manager we will like. We have all the time in the world to choos properly this time, no panic decisions anymore.
I love ole, but I think I’m going to love him less by the time May comes around 
. I’m not a fan of this decision at all, but I still think it’s better than leaving Jose in charge

Let's get someone who will make players play motivating, beautiful, colourful football regardless of results for a start.
Shame it won't be Butt. We'd all like to see Gomes replace Matic as a DLP
Okay, feck what I said, Ole in!
Ideally if we could convince Jardim for the role with chance of making the deal permanent if he finishes top 4 and wins any trophy.
I also really like the idea of making Wenger in charge for 6 months and then offering him the role of technical director to support Zidane as permanent manager.

Well then. Weird one.
I guess that means it’s definitely a caretaker, interim manager, and not one who could get the role on a permanent at the cost of targeting someone better.

Ole+Phelan+Carrick+McKenna would be good for us now. Getting in a top DOF is also very important step and I like Mitchell as that option.
Yes, we really need another failing manager with his best days long past into the club!!!
What's the issue with Solskjaer as caretaker? It's only for 6 months and then we bring in someone else. At least he isn't a defensive manager and he's not a bellend who will alienate the players
Nah, just hearsay.
Seems like an odd choice considering his time at Cardiff , but I suppose it's only for 6 months.
If Ole then why not Giggs. Giggseh!
Not being funny, but Ole reeks of Ferguson being involved heavily. I love the guy (Well both of them actually) but I don't think he's the right choice.
After the first half of this season I can just imagine Old Trafford absolutely bouncing if Ole was to lead the players out next week.

Ole would be a really smart and educated choice from Woodward. Get in Phelan also and you have a good team to steady the ship and it will be no doubt that the gig is only temporary.
Our players will love working for Ole. We will see pretty fast changes in moral and results. Everything Ole does is out of the Fergie textbook and he know the club very well.

He had a horrendous spell with Cardiff. And after that retreated back to familiar ground, where I have no idea how he is doing. It's a big gamble, if true. Bit of an unknown quantity. Usually caretaker or interim managers have a lot of top level experience behind them. My personal choice would be Wenger if he is willing to take the job. He knows the league, wants to play football on the front foot and may be able to get the best out of our talented French speakers.
We have a potential CL match and a late push for top 4. Just hope we make some sensible appointments and not emotional ones
:thumbsup:
It’s for 6 months.
It’s a gamble worth taking even though I would have gone for Blanc.
The club needs a fresh face and likeable face. Nobody in that dressing room could hate Pogba. The fans will be behind him. He comes across well in the media and I doubt he’d push players under the bus.
What's wrong with someone like Eddie Howe? He'd be far cheaper than some of the other options and he'd likely be better than Solskjaer who failed at Cardiff.
Twitter seems to be convinced its Ole.
Least we can bring back some old tunes
This could either way really but surely cant be worse than Mou.

I'd be delighted to see Ole back in da cloobe. It an opportunity to finally learn how to spell Solkjaer.
Cardiff was a poisoned place. Why do you think they had to dig to the norwegian league to get a manager? No one else was accepting.
Solskjaer is just the caretaker. We'll go for Poch in the summer
Why would Howe leave Bournemouth for a 6 month contract?
I would go for Blanc.
Howe has been at Bournemouth for 6 years (9 if you include his first stint). He's not walking away from that for a temporary caretaker role.
I'd be very happy with that. What a legend and all round great guy.
People forget that we aren't that far from relegation.
I'd put Wenger in to secure top 4... or hire Zidane outright if we are keeping Pogba and Martial
Can't screw around with nostalgic favorites... though I admit with the talent it's unlikely a farm animal as manager could get us relegated.

With Ole in charge don't see us winning against any of the big teams. Shouldn't matter against smaller teams since our attackers are still talented. He'll pretty much tell them to go out and play with freedom. Any time I've watched his teams play they don't seem to have any sort of proper tactic
The Cardiff job was poisoned. He came in mid-season after they'd blown their promotion budget on dross, with the club imploding due to the issues between McKay and the owners.
