Manchester United’s manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, is under intense pressure as the most suçessful English club have lost four of the last six English Premier League (EPL) games.
United, who sat third, after the first three EPL games are currently three points adrift of Arsenal, who were bottom of the league (20th) at that time.
Their humiliating home defeats to two arch-rivals, Liverpool and Manchester City, which has highlighted the difference in class, is not helping him.

He is also yet to win any trophy after three seasons despite the financial backings he has had in comparison to those before him.
In addition to this, the title looks to be a long shot with Chelsea already nine points clear whilst United are already out of the Carabao Cup.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has surprisingly been backed by the Old Trafford hierarchy, despite the poor results and pressure from stakeholders at the club, especially the fans.
United recently overlooked Antonio Conte before he headed to Tottenham, but it is believed patience may run thin, especially if United looks like they could miss out on the top four.
However, the 48-year-old, insists he is not on borrowed time despite their latest derby defeat to Manchester City.
He said: “We can’t, or I can’t, look at myself and say this is the way I want Man United to play.
“I’m in good communication all the time with the club and that’s very upfront and honest about the situation.”
Solskjaer also added: “It’s so hard to go through a game like this and we understand everyone’s frustration and disappointment but these boys will do everything they can and the staff will do everything we can and try to get us back to everything we were: front foot, positive, attacking Man United. We’ll do what we can to do that.”
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, will get a chance to regroup during the international break but may lose the backing of Manchester United’s board if results do not improve quickly and soon.
