Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a manager under pressure after losing two games in a row.
At Manchester United every defeat is a mini-crisis, but poor results have been far too frequent this season.
This has led to speculation over Solskjaer’s future, with ESPN reporting United are considering alternatives.
United sit in a lowly 15th place heading into this weekend’s game at Everton.
Solskjaer’s former United teammate David May believes sacking the Norwegian would be futile.
A cycle of disappointment
United just have not been able to get anything right since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.
Big name managers have not worked, and Solskjaer was always going to be a long term approach which required patience.
If being generous, you would throw this season out, as a strange one with no fans and no pre-season lead in. But the impatience of modern football makes this tough.
United’s poor league position, with just seven points from six games, puts pressure on Solskjaer.
If it does not continue, it is going to be hard for him to keep his job, no matter how much United want to stick by him.
