Man Utd: ultimatum for Solskjaer
He has focused criticism since the start of the season, and even more after Manchester United's debacle at home against Liverpool on Sunday (0-5). The future of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been at the heart of the English press rumors for several days. Tuesday,
Sky Sports
informed that the coach of the Red Devils was not threatened immediately. What was confirmed during the day. The
Guardian
and the
Daily Telegraph
reveal that Solskjaer's legendary predecessor, Sir Alex Ferguson, and Mancunian leaders continue to support Solskjaer (48).
But he was given an ultimatum: if he did not raise the bar after the trip to Tottenham and the reception of Manchester City in the Premier League, interspersed with a perilous visit to Atalanta in the Champions League, the Norwegian will have to be held to account.
Three shocks which will therefore weigh heavily in the Manchester season, where Antonio Conte is emphatically announced to succeed Solskjaer in the event of departure.
