– He was hired to do a job

The Champions League was at the beginning of the season Solskjær has clung to, after victories against Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig. However, after a loss to Istanbul Basaksehir on Wednesday and a 15th place in the Premier League, the pressure on the Norwegian increased.

Following the defeat in Istanbul, Solskjær was asked about his future as Manchester United manager.

– I refrain from commenting on such things. Of course, it is early in the season and opinions will always be there. One must be strong. The club hired me to do a job and I do the best I can with my support staff, Solskjær replied.

United legends blame the players

Following this weekend’s 0-1 loss at home to Arsenal, United legend and former Solskjær teammate Roy Keane stated that he believes Solskjær will be fired. Iren blamed the players.

– Ole will lose his job for these players. It is as true as the night after the day. That’s what will happen, Keane said according to The Mirror.

– Sometimes it is said that it is not necessary to panic, but with this result and achievements, it is actually time to panic. I judge the players by their performance and I don’t see it. I’ve never let the manager motivate me myself, it must come from within, Keane continued.

Iren pointed to Marcus Rashford, among others, and thought the attacking player’s body language was very negative. After meeting Istanbul Basaksehir on Wednesday, Anthony Martial will also receive the slippery earring from another former United player, Paul Scholes.

– I’m a huge Martial fan, but the amount of times he just walks … he has to realize he’s a midfielder. Every now and then you have to move if you want to score. You can’t just walk in front of two midfielders and do nothing, Scholes said.

In the last episode of his Here we go-podkast, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano says United management is happy with Solskjær and still believes he is the right man for the club.

This weekend, Ole Gunnar Solskjær has a new opportunity to accelerate the season, when Everton are absent. Kickoff at Goodison Park is at 1:30 PM on Saturday.
