Man United decided to dismiss Amorim, 40, following his explosive post-match press conference after the 1-1 draw with Leeds.
Amorim will go down as the worst manager the club has had in the Premier League era, with a win percentage of just 31.9%.
Former midfielder Darren Fletcher has been appointed as the interim manager between now and the end of the season and will take charge of the game against Burnley on Wednesday (January 7).
According to Fabrizio Romano, ex-striker and manager Solskjaer has thrown his hat into the ring should the club decide to go in another direction.
It’s understood that Solskjaer would want the job regardless of the contract length.
