The former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær has held talks in Istanbul over taking charge at Turkish club Besiktas.

Solskjær has not held a coaching role since leaving Old Trafford in 2021, but is now negotiating with the Super Lig outfit, who have been without a head coach since letting Giovanni van Bronckhorst go last month. The Norwegian arrived in Turkey on Friday to put the finishing touches to an 18-month deal.
