Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer going nowhere despite poor form will stay in charge of Watford game- Manchester United was handed their 4th loss of the season in the Premier League against Manchester City in the Manchester Derby. And it is still believed that Solskjaer will still remain in charge of the Red Devils.
Manchester United fell to the brilliance of Pep’s team who won the Manchester Derby comfortably scoring 2 goals at Old Trafford while Ole’s men looked all over the place. Solskjaer who has been under pressure since the 5-0 beating from Liverpool finds himself under pressure once again. Although his team has always managed to turn it around when put under similar circumstances, but will Solskjaer run out of time eventually at Manchester United?
Solskjær on his future: “No I don’t [think he is on borrowed time]. I have good communication with the club all the time which is up front and honest. I work for Man United, I want the best for Man United. As long as I am here I want to improve this”. 🔴 #MUFC @utdreport pic.twitter.com/8iLYnQyxRc

Gary Neville tweeted: “The situation at United is made more complicated with Ed (Woodward) leaving in weeks. He gave OGS a 3-year contract months ago and he won’t want his final act to be sacking a manager. However, he [Woodward] knows an incoming CEO could throw him overboard by doing just that [sacking Solskjaer] and blaming him!”
Woodward announced that he would be leaving Man United at the end of this year, during the European Super League scandal back in April. The Red Devils then handed Solskjaer a new three-year contract in July.

Solskjaer got marquee signings – The club’s owners, the Glazer family, still want Solskjaer to succeed. They have backed Ole by signing big names this season in Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho & Raphael Varane but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still can’t find the right formation and tactics to be a title-challenging team.
Neville on the Gary Neville Podcast:
“I think those players want to do well, and want to be at Manchester United, every single one of them. But they look like they are suffering badly at this moment in time. I think the club will put Saturday down to Pep Guardiola, Manchester City, and believe that this could happen to any team in any season.”
