United have won just two of their opening six Premier League matches and should they lose to Everton on Sunday could slip as low as 17th place.
According to a recent report from Manchester Evening News, United have made contact with former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino over the possibility of taking over from Solskjaer.
