Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is being linked with the Norway national team job.

Solskjaer could take over as Norway manager if he gets sacked by United after a short break.

Jan Aage Fjortoft says Solskjaer could be the next Norway boss when current head coach Stale Solbakken calls it a day.

But Fjortoft added that his compatriot will first take some time off between jobs.

The former Middlesbrough ace tweeted: “Ole G [Solskjaer] will, as any manager, eventually get the sack.

“Then he will take some time off. After that he will succeed Solbakken (when he says enough is enough) as Norwegian National Coach."
