After being smashed by LFC
After Manchester United‘s highest home defeat against rivals Liverpool in the history of the Premier League, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has come under increasingly more pressure. The manager also appears to have lost the backing of the dressing room. According to a report by The Times, the players value the 48-year-old on a personal level but after the 0-5 defeat on the weekend, several players have doubts about the Norwegians tactical knowledge.
The players are not convinced that Solskjaer has the necessary abilities to guide the Red Devils out of the current crisis. The English record champions have been without a victory in four league games (three defeats, one draw) and have dropped to seventh in the EPL—the Red Devils are eight points behind league leaders, Chelsea.

But the tactical orientation of the club is not the only concern within the dressing room. Parts of the team are also unhappy with the role of assistant manager Kieran McKenna, who joined the first team from the U18 in the summer of 2018. The players do not feel that McKenna’s sessions are challenging enough and uninspirational.
Manchester United: Few alternatives to Solskjaer available on the market
The lack of alternatives on the market could, however, safe Solskjaer, who has collected just 1.81 points per game on average for the Red Devils. Antonio Conte has shown some interest but has objections to how the club is run and also does not like to take over projects mid-season. Other managers that have been linked to the club like Thomas Tuchel (Chelsea), Julian Nagelsmann (Bayern Munich), and Mauricio Pochettino (PSG) have long-term contracts at their respective clubs.
