Manchester United reach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decision
Ole’s tricky Reds struggling
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his Red Devils are having a tricky time of it of late.
Saved on several occasions by Cristiano Ronaldo’s brilliance, they have nonetheless been embarrassed in back to back home ties against their two biggest rivals, Liverpool and Manchester City.

For a club that spent over 100 million pounds in the summer, adding to an incredibly expensive current squad, the performances and results do not cut it. They currently sit in 6th place in the Premier League table, nine points behind league leaders Chelsea, and six behind Manchester City.
Even Arsenal, who were 20th three games into the season, find themselves three points clear of the Red Devils, who have taken four points from a possible 18 across their last six domestic ties. To rub further salt in the wound, the club were unceremoniously dumped out of the Carabao Cup by West Ham United in the third round, meaning that another chance of silverware has gone.
Ole Out?
Now, as per the Manchester Evening News, the club have decided that enough is enough. Sort of.
The report relates that:
“The Manchester Evening News understands United have privately decided a change of manager will be required following the morale-crushing defeats to Liverpool and Manchester City.”
This will come as great news to Manchester United fans who have seen their side embarrassed several times this season already, but there is a very significant caveat.
The MEN continues to claim that Ole could remain in charge for the rest of the season, saying:
“A senior club source has indicated Solskjaer could remain manager until the end of the season amid a lack of a readily available replacement”
Of course, the most high-profile available manager has already moved on in the form of Antonio Conte, meaning that it seems likely that Manchester United have delayed too long to have any chance of saving their season, even with the high-profile additions they have made.
The question is now, how bad can it get under Ole, or can he turn it around to some degree?
