JAKARTA - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a candidate for Bayern Munich manager replacing Thomas Tuchel who is on the brink.

The appearance of the Norwegian manager's name can be understood given the increasing pressure on Thomas Tuchel.

Bayern have lost three games in a row, including a 0-3 loss to rivals for the 2023/2024 Bundesliga title, Bayer Leverkusen.

Leverkusen has far left FC Hollywood with an eight-point difference at the top of the standings.

If the change of manager really happens before this season ends, then Solskjaer is appointed as a substitute, Bayern has a chance to overhaul the squad next season.

The Sun predicts Solskjaer's presence could also bring in Manchester United defenders and players who did not have a place at Old Trafford in the Erik ten Hag era.

The name of goalkeeper David De Gea is at the top of the Solskjaer program to make a new face for Munich.

The Spanish goalkeeper is certainly easy to come by with an approach from Solskjaer. Currently, De Gea is free of transfer after leaving Old Trafford in early last season.

He has been defending the Red Devils for 12 years, including when Solskjaer took charge of Man United in 2018-2021.

De Gea's presence later is not without reason. Manuel Neuer, who is now the main goalkeeper of Munich, is 37 years old. He is clearly approaching retirement because his contract will expire in less than 18 months at the Bavarian club.

Apart from the goalkeeper's post, Bayern need a defense strengthening after conceding three goals in their last two league games. Solskjaer will probably take two United defenders.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire, who were bought for a total of 130 million pounds, were not the main choice for Erik ten Hag. Both can be hijacked to Munich if Solskjaer becomes manager.

Seeing the track record of the two, of course it is easy to get them to the Allianz Arena. Maguire was even in a selling status and almost moved to West Ham at the start of last season.

Apart from the back lines, Munich also deserves to strengthen the line of attack. They have been eyeing England players in recent seasons.

The proof is that FC Hollywood has brought Harry Kane and Eric Dier in the last transfer window. The success of the two players could spur the club to re-explor the Premier League to increase attack ammunition.

Jadon Sancho being a player who has a chance can be hijacked easily. The winger has impressed in the remainder of his loan with Borussia Dortmund this season.

Apparently, Sancho has no future at Manchester United after a dispute with Ten Hag in September 2023. So, he is likely to be available for transfers later this season.

So far, Bayern Munich fans are more interested in the club's plan to sign Solskjaer as Tuchel's replacement than Zinedine Zidane and Xabi Alonso.

Bavarian fans have an emotional bond with the Norwegian manager. Solskjaer was Manchester United's winner when they beat Munich 2-1 in the 1999 Champions League final.

"I really want this to happen (Solskjaer to Munich). I feel very sorry for him when he leaves United for no reason."

"That guy destroyed Bayern in 1999. Now they want to replace him to become a hero!" wrote the fans as summarized by The Sun.

For information, Zidane is also a strong candidate to replace Tuchel. Former Real Madrid manager actually got the top spot in Munich's management.

Meanwhile, the name Xabi Alonso is not a priority. Apart from performing well with Leverkusen, he is also being targeted by Liverpool to replace Jurgen Klopp early next season.
