After Manchester United’s biggest home defeat against arch-rivals Liverpool in the history of the Premier League, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not only coming under increasing public pressure, he is also apparently losing support within the team. As “The Times“Reports, the 48-year-old is valued by his players on a personal level, but after the 0: 5,” some “professionals are increasingly doubting the Norwegian ‘s tactical skills. According to “The Athletic” he should get another chance in the away game at Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.
According to the “Times” report, they are not convinced that Solskjaer has the skills necessary to lead the “Red Devils” out of the current crisis. The English record champions have been waiting for a victory in the league for four games (3 defeats, 1 draw) and slipped to seventh place in the table – eight points behind leaders Chelsea FC after nine matchdays.

But it is not only the tactical orientation that gives part of the team a headache, it is also “concerned” about the role of assistant coach Kieran McKenna, who was appointed to the professional coaching staff by the U18 in the summer of 2018. According to reports, the 35-year-old’s training is not demanding enough and leaves players “uninspired”.
On Monday evening, according to “The Athletic”, there was therefore an online meeting between club owner Joel Glazer, vice chairman Ed Woodward and club director Richard Arnold. Although Solskjaer’s future seemed by no means certain at first, it is now very likely that the ex-professional will also be on the sidelines next weekend.
Manchester United: Conte only alternative to Solskjaer?
Antonio Conte, former champions with Inter, Chelsea and Juve, was named in the media as a possible successor. The Italian has already had initial discussions with those responsible and has therefore given his promise for a possible cooperation. Other football teachers such as Thomas Tuchel (Chelsea), Julian Nagelsmann (FC Bayern) or Mauricio Pochettino (PSG), who have been considered for the club bosses of Man United in the past, now have long-term contracts.
