Manchester United Could Sack Solskjaer Next Week

 

 

Pressure is mounting on Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, losing patience with him and the squad, questioning his methods, the UK Mirror reports.

 

Solskjaer is fighting to save his job, after a miserable start to the season, which has seen United pick up just nine points from their opening eight Premier League games.

 

Their embarrassing 1-0 defeat to relegation-threatened Newcastle saw them drop to 12th in the table, with a home fixture against table toppers, Liverpool next.

 

Woodward handed Solskjaer a three-year deal in March, but is growing increasingly concerned by the team’s form, as United sit just two points above the relegation zone.

 

It is believed that a heavy defeat to Liverpool, could see Woodward and the owners the Glazers to pull the plug on the experiment, particularly with several key players including Paul Pogba, Luke Shaw, Anthony Martial, Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka all set to return after missing the Newcastle tie.
