Ole Gunnar Solskjær, in distress, still believes he is the right man for Manchester United.
The local Manchester Evening News has gone to great lengths to suggest that there is a win or a loss for Ole Gunnar Solskjær when his team Manchester United take on Everton in the Premier League on Saturday. The newspaper ensures that United is already considering Mauricio Pochettino as a replacement.
In connection with this weekend’s away game, the United manager posed for a press conference on Friday afternoon, where he was asked, among other things, if he is still confident that he will achieve success as coach of the United Manchester United.
The Norwegian made it clear that he still believes he is the right man to lead the team.
– Yes, why shouldn’t I be? If I am not confident in myself, in my qualities, in the qualities of the support apparatus and in the qualities of the players, then who should? Says Solskjær.
He’s clear he’s not the type to give up despite two disappointing games in a row. At the same time, recognize that they need to improve.
– It’s a setback, says Solskjær.
However, the United manager says he expects a positive reaction from his own players when they face Everton on Saturday.
– Good dialogue with the club’s management
At the same time, he also says that he believes it is completely normal for both him and the club to receive criticism when they play poorly.
– You have to be mentally strong. There are demands and expectations for Manchester United’s players and manager, says Solskjær.
The Norwegian says he still has a good dialogue with the club’s management about the situation.
– I have always had an honest and open dialogue with the club. They have shown strong leadership. I have an ongoing dialogue with them, says Solskjær.
Pochettino connects to work
The United manager has also come under heavy pressure on several occasions as United manager.
As a rule, Mauricio Pochettino’s name appears in the press as a possible replacement for the Norwegian.
The Argentine has made a great impression as a coach for both Southampton and Tottenham, but is currently unemployed.
Recently, as a guest of Sky Sports, he stated that he is very ready to return to the managerial profession.
Even now, Pochettino is seen as the big favorite to possibly replace Solskjær if the Norwegian was sacked.
Disappointing start to the season
However, it has not yet done so, but experts agree that the pressure is mounting.
It comes after a very disappointing start to the season for Manchester Red Dresses.
Ahead of this weekend’s away game against Everton, United slipped to 15th place in the Premier League with just two wins in the first seven games.
True, there have been some bright spots in the Champions League for Manchester United with two convincing victories against PSG and RB Leipzig, but earlier this week the men of Solskjær suffered a humiliating defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir.
Now it is Everton’s turn and many believe that victory alone is enough for Solskjær.
