Recently, there has been an “air of resignation” around Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Man Utd, according to a report.
The norwegian has sunk increased pressure in the last days following Red Devils unexpected 2-1 defeat against Turkish team Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League group stage on Wednesday.
That result means Man Utd has now posted back-to-back losses after his narrow 1-0 loss to Arsenal over the weekend.

United’s Champions League victories against RB Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain were a welcome relief from their Premier League form, as they rank 15th in the table, having lost three of their first six games.
Solskjaer was asked about his future after the dire defeat at the hands of the outsiders in Group H, which he has seen talk about a possible move for the rise of former Southampton and Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino.
When asked if he fears for his job, Solskjaer said at a post-match press conference: “I refuse to comment on such a thing. Of course, it is early and the opinions are there all the time.
“You have to stay strong. I am employed by the club to do a job and I do the best I can with my staff. “
And now the Daily mail claim ‘Solskjaer is believed to have become more withdrawn at Carrington, spending more time than usual in the company of coach Kieran McKenna and his team of analysts. His number 2, Mike Phelan, is also said to have an air of resignation.
The report added: ‘Confidence in his methods is also starting to wane among players. A source noted Thursday that footballers tend to change when a team’s failures are affecting their own careers and, worryingly, that process appears to have begun.
Solskjaer remains’ infinitely more popular ‘than José Mourinho but’ does not have the stellar Mourinho managerial credentials to inspire confidence that he can solve United’s problems.
It could well be the biggest weekend of the season so far. The two biggest title contenders will finally meet in a long-awaited meeting, but will Leicester or Wolves prevail? Liverpool also play Manchester City or something similar.
