Asked by newspaper Dagbladet if Solskjaer was talking to the Canadian club, Jim Solbakken replied: "Yes." He did not go into any further details about the negotiations.

The 42-year-old former Manchester United striker was sacked by Cardiff in September last year following relegation from the Premier League in 2014 and a poor start to the subsequent season in the second tier.

Toronto FC are currently fifth in the Eastern Conference of the MLS with 28 points after 20 games.
