As reported by the prestigious English journalist David Ornstein from The Athletic UK, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will not be fired by him Manchester United despite the bad streak of results that the team is going through at this time of the season. The same media confirms that the Norwegian technical director has a lot of credit in the Old Trafford bank and that, unless a catastrophe occurs, he will continue in his position throughout the season.
Solskjaer has failed to start the season in the best way, suffering painful defeats en route to the Premier League title fight and in the UEFA Champions League group stage, where he can have a lot of trouble qualifying for the round of Eighth finals. Let’s explain the situation step by step:
The negative numbers of Manchester United
-They are 5th in the Premier League with 14 points in 8 games played. 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, with the possibility of dropping a couple of spots if their opponents below manage to win their matches.
-They have 3 games without winning in the Premier League: 0-1 at home against Aston Villa, 1-1 at home against Everton and 2-4 as a visitor against Leicester City.
-They were eliminated from the Carabao Cup against West Ham United at home in the first round.
-They are third in the group in the UEFA Champions League behind Atalanta, their next rival during the week, and Young Boys, who beat them in the first match of the competition. They barely managed to defeat Villarreal at home.
On the other hand, and beyond the results, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not finish finding the key for his team to play well, which has generated criticism even from Cristiano Ronaldo himself, who complained because he changed him in a game.
Manchester United’s situation is very complicated, but everything seems to indicate that Solskjaer will not move this season.
