Michael Carrick reunites with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in Norway
Michael Carrick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, former Manchester United teammates and coaching partners, reunited in Trondheim, Norway, before United's pre-season friendly against Rosenborg. According to BBC Sport reporter Simon Stone, the pair remain close friends and have kept in regular contact since leaving Old Trafford in 2021. Solskjaer, whose family home is about three hours from Trondheim, met with Carrick, who became Manchester United head coach in January 2026 following Ruben Amorim's departure. Both men had been linked with the managerial role, but Carrick was ultimately chosen. Despite that decision, there is no reported tension between them. The reunion attracted attention from supporters who remember their successful spell together, which included three consecutive top-four finishes and a Europa League final appearance. Carrick is currently preparing his squad for the new season during pre-season tour.
