Manchester United have finally parted company with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after their dismal 4-1 defeat to Watford at the weekend so we have fired up Football Manager 2022 to simulate how his potential successor may do at Old Trafford.

The Norwegian has been dismissed with the club currently lying outside of the top four in the Premier League table, and they currently sit eighth.

Plenty of reports have been flying around suggesting that there could be various different replacements for the former striker.

However, one surprise name that has been circulated as a potential interim appointment is that of Steve Bruce.

The former Newcastle United boss has left St James’ Park and may now be regarded as a potential figure to steady the ship.

So it would be rude of us not to parachute him into the role on Football Manager 2022 and find out just how he would do if he was given the job!

Because of the restrictions within the game, we’ve given Bruce the job at the start of the season, so he has a full transfer window and a pre-season with his new players.

How did he get on? Read on below.
