Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to stay at Manchester United in spite of a bad run of games
Despite a terrible run of games that culminated in a 4-2 defeat to Leicester City on Saturday, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will not be fired.
Even though the 13-time Premier League winners have not won any of their past three league games despite investing heavily in the summer, we understand the United manager has a lot of credit in the bank at board level.
United is now in fifth place, one point outside the top four, following Saturday's loss. In their Champions League group, they have one win and one loss.
However, they have a difficult run ahead of them, with Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal among their next nine league opponents.
In December 2018, Solskjaer was named as a caretaker manager at United, before being appointed permanently the following spring. In July 2021, he signed a new three-year contract with the option to extend for another year, ensuring that he will remain at the club until at least 2024.
"When you look at the game afterward, the four goals we conceded were bad," remarked Solskjaer, 48. We don't deserve to keep our (away unbeaten) streak going the way we've been playing.
“I pick the team, Harry Maguire showed no reaction and I hold my hand up if that does not work out. If we concede four, I probably made a bad decision.
“Lately we have not been in great form, lost too many points and that is something we have to look at. We might have to change, do we need more legs in there? What do we need?
“I have got many good players. Fred, Edinson Cavani, you miss them. I am not making excuses for the team I put out there, they are top footballers and we have not produced.
“It says everything our best player was David but we still conceded four goals.
United spent roughly £130 million for Jadon Sancho, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Raphael Varane during the summer transfer window.
