Manchester United have won just two of their last seven matches in all competitions.
Despite spending upwards of £100m during this summer’s transfer window, which included signing Jadon Sancho and club legend Cristiano Ronaldo, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is struggling to find a way to accommodate all his attacking talent.
With the Red Devils’ latest lacklustre performance coming on Saturday during a 4-2 Premier League defeat against Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City, the Norweigan tactician is now on thin ice.
If the pressure on Solskjaer wasn’t already at boiling point, an incredibly tough run of fixtures, including a trio of domestic ties against Spurs, Manchester City and Liverpool, now awaits.

Ahead of their very next match, which is a tricky European encounter against Italian side Atalanta in the Champions League group stage, several Man United fans have been quick to call for their current manager’s head.
Considered tactically inept, these fans believe they know the identity of the Norweigan’s perfect successor.
Several calls to the board to replace Solskjaer with former Real Madrid superstar, Zinedine Zidane, have been made.
The Frenchman has been out of work since he left his Los Blancos post at the end of last season – however, with Old Trafford a precipitate for discontent, could the former midfielder make a stunning managerial comeback in the Premier League?
The below fans certainly hope so.

Ole is not a good coach.let him be replaced with zee zee….ole can’t be man united future excell coach like fergee.
United need a change. And the change needs to happen now.
Yes sack ole
The team will be better without a coach than having a distraction on the sidelines in the person of Ole…!!!
Any coach is definitely better than Solskjaer. If you compare Solskjaer with ZIDANE, he is definitely more pedigreed than Solskjaer. Zizou is not only an accomplished player but also an outstanding coach having won 2 LaLiga titles and three consecutive Champion League titles as well. With a large French contingent at Manchester United, he could prove to be a perfect choice. Don’t WAIT especially he is unattached and no compensation need be pair. JUST give Solskjaer his severance payment and buy for him a flight ticket to NORWAY as well as I don’t think any Premier League club will want to hire him.
been saying ever since sols started saying he doesn’t live in the dark ages and cup matches are only for egos (how inspiring is that!!!!). great player rubbish manager – he thinks he is still one of the boys. A top manager needs a bit of charisma, plenty of tactical nous, discipline, authority and bags of managerial respect from his players. Sols has got none of that.
Ole is tactically deficient and should be replaced with Marcelo Bielsa
