Manchester United has initiated preliminary discussions with club legends Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer regarding the caretaker manager position.

Director of football Jason Wilcox has reportedly engaged with Fletcher, Solskjaer, and Carrick about the caretaker role.
Former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy is also reportedly being considered for the caretaker position. Meanwhile, Oliver Glasner and Roberto de Zerbi are considered early contenders for the full-time managerial job, though Glasner has declined to comment on speculation.
