On Friday afternoon, it seemed as though Solskjaer was the new name in the frame after he was cut to odds-on in some places. With Solskjaer ruling himself out of the running, it remains to be seen who will land the job.

Speaking on The Overlap, he said: “Yeah, international football – I enjoyed it when I was a coach for a while. I like the dynamics of it, where you’re not in every day, and it’s not about bringing players in and I suppose dealing with the board every week or the academy.

“Yeah, that does appeal. I did like the dynamics when I was coaching with Martin with the Irish team.

We had a little bit of success, and when you’ve had a little bit of success, then it’s brilliant, and obviously there are disappointments. So, yeah, that could be an option.”
