 A former Manchester United manager has been cited as 'inside' a candidate for the Brighton managerial job.

Brighton lost their manager Graham Potter to Chelsea a few weeks ago.

The Premier League side are still considering a possible replacement after failing to replace the outgoing manager.

Several candidates have been contacted about a vacancy in Brighton.

Now the former Manchester United manager has been tied up with the job after being referred to the club.

Can the former United boss be the answer to the question and move Brighton?

Brighton are discussing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as a possible candidate, according to new reports from Jeunesfooteux.com via Sport Witness.

The report says; "Former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been 'inside' Brighton as they look for a new manager.
