Manchester United have reportedly given their full backing to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer the club’s recent poor results.
With just weeks into the new season, pressure is already mounting on Solskjaer to quit, with a section of fans suggesting he should be axed in the wake of the club’s 4-2 loss to Leicester.
After what appeared as progress under Ole, the Norwegian was handed a lucrative new deal in the summer and was heavily backed in the transfer window with Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho all joining.
While United did mark the start of the campaign impressively, their form deteriorated significantly in recent weeks, managing just two wins in their last seven matches across competitions.
But despite the worrying run of performances, The Athletic reports Solskjaer still maintains 100% backing of United chiefs and he is not in danger of being sent packing.
The development comes at a time the Red Devils are scheduled for unfavourable fixtures in the coming days including matches against rivals Liverpool and Man City. Reacting to his side’s defeat to Leicester, Solskjaer appeared to take responsibility for the loss but was also quick to admit his wards were poor.
“When you look at the game after, the four goals we conceded were poor. The way we played we don’t deserve to continue that run,” he said.
