Manchester United boss Ed Woodward is ‘poised to fire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’

Ed Woodward is set to fire Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer if the club’s poor results continue, The Mirror reports.

United have struggled to bounce back in their first three games of the Premier League campaign, with last Sunday’s stunning 6-1 loss to Spurs at Old Trafford piling further pressure on Solskjaer.

And Woodward is reportedly prepared to put the sentiment aside to fire the Norwegian, a fan favorite due to his heroics as a player under Sir Alex Ferguson.

The United chief executive has come under fire for the club’s disappointing transfer window, in which he failed in his search for Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho.

The late attacks by Edinson Cavani and Alex Telles did little to ease criticism from United fans, with fans lamenting the club’s transfer failures as their rivals strengthened their squads.

However, Solskjaer is expected to bear the brunt of the poor performances, should they continue, and the club is still interested in bringing in former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, who has yet to take over a team. since leaving north London last season.

United have started the season poorly, falling to a stunning 6-1 loss to Spurs last week.

The Argentine has reportedly turned down jobs elsewhere during his hiatus, and the 48-year-old is prepared to wait for the right opportunity to arise.

Solskjaer was appointed permanent manager in March 2018 after a positive tenure as temporary boss, giving the club a much-needed boost after the onset of negativity in the José Mourinho era.

The Norwegian guided the Red Devils to the top four last season, and the club reached three semi-finals, but the team’s form in the opening stages of this season has been a cause for concern among bosses.

It is no easier for Solskjaer’s side, who will face a tough series of matches later this month.

United lost their opener 3-1 to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford, before overtaking Brighton in a dramatic clash on the south coast in which the Seagulls hit the wood no fewer than five times.

However, Sunday’s stunning loss to Spurs sent shockwaves through the club to the point where Woodward is reportedly unfazed by Solskjaer’s legendary status when it comes to evaluating his position as a coach.

The United boss is said to have highlighted Liverpool’s decision to fire icon Kenny Dalglish in 2012 as a justification for parting ways with the popular Norwegian.

United have a tough streak of matches after the international break. They first face Newcastle before taking on Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton in the league, as well as Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig in Europe.
