Former Manchester United head coach Ole Gunnar Scholzar is paying attention to the Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Former coach Scholzar watched the 16th round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League between Wolverhampton and Ipswich in Molineux on the 15th (Korea time). In this match, Wolverhampton lost to Ipswich 1-2 and failed to add points, failing to escape the relegation zone of 19th.
The Daily Mail, a British daily newspaper, reported the news of Scholzar visiting the stadium. The newspaper reported that "Scholshar has not returned to the scene since he was fired from Manchester United three years ago" and that "a recent local Norwegian podcast also effectively hinted at retirement" "In addition to his recent comments, he also rejected offers from the Danish national team and Molde to head coach the club, but many betting companies are strongly looking at Scholzar's inauguration as the next Wolverhampton coach,' he said, adding that although his visit to Molineux appears to have nothing to do with replacing Wolverhampton coach Gary O'Neill, his visit naturally added fuel to the rumours.
The Daily Mail pointed out that the real reason why Scholzar visited Molineux was because of his friendship with Kieran McKenna, the head coach of Ipswich. McKenna coached Scholzar during his tenure at Manchester United. The Daily Mail added that Scholzar and McCana are still close, adding that before the actual match, Scholzar and McKenna were seen hugging and greeting each other warmly.

Wolverhampton's performance on the day was a mess.
Wolverhampton, who gave the lead with Matt Doherty's own goal 15 minutes into the game, succeeded in bringing the game back to square one with Matteus Cunha's equalizer in the 27th minute of the second half. However, in the second half extra time, Jack Taylor scored the winning goal and eventually suffered a one-point defeat at home. Not only was Riyan Ait-Nuri sent off after the match for a collision with Ipswich's Wesley Burns, but there was also an altercation among Wolverhampton team members. Cunha hits Ipswich security personnel in the face and takes off his glasses. O'Neill said after the game that `Ait-Nuri will already know how I feel' `No matter how much stress we are under, we have to control ourselves.' Players must also understand the importance of making good decisions under pressure. We have a lot of work to do, and we have a lot to fix."
"I'm enjoying the life I wanted," Scholzar said. It's a place to choose anything. Luckily I don't want anything financially either"I'm enjoying my retirement," he said. But he's still moving towards the football field, and coincidentally, he's been looking at the team on the brink of shipwreck. Is this visit just a coincidence.
