Man Utd crowd unleash Sir Jim Ratcliffe fury with four-word message | Football | Sport

The travelling faithful at Burnley, however, have voiced their sentiments on the matter. A banner proclaiming: “JIM CAN’T FIX THIS” was visible from the away section before kick-off.

Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada have similarly faced criticism this week and were in attendance at the match. It’s believed the former conducted a meeting with Amorim last week regarding tactical matters, though it ended with both parties at an impasse.

Prior to the match, it was revealed that Solskjaer and Carrick had both held additional discussions with the United hierarchy. Solskjaer stands as the favourite to assume control for what remains of the current season, having previously excelled in the Old Trafford hot seat.

The Norwegian succeeded Jose Mourinho in 2018 and secured victory in 14 of his 19 matches as caretaker before being appointed to the role on a permanent basis. He steered the club to a runners-up position and consecutive top-four finishes, though was dismissed in November 2021.

Solskjaer is set to return to Norway tomorrow from his residence in Cheshire. However, it’s believed he could be appointed before the start of next week.

A permanent successor is anticipated to take over at the end of the season. Thomas Tuchel, who was previously considered before Amorim’s appointment in November 2024, remains a top contender.

Other potential candidates include Carlo Ancelotti and Mauricio Pochettino.
