Former Manchester United manager and club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is being considered for the vacant role at Belgian Pro League side Club Brugge, according to reports.

Brugge have been without a manager since March 8 when they sacked ex-Fulham and AFC Bournemouth boss Scott Parker. Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri is reporting that Solskjaer is among the club’s shortlisted candidates for the role.

However, it is understood that Standard Liege’s Ronny Deila is the side’s number one target for the vacant role while ex-RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich assistant manager Dino Toppmoller is also under consideration. For Solskjaer, should he be appointed by Club Brugge, it would be his first foray into senior team management since his departure from Old Trafford.
