Summary
When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed Manchester United manager in December 2018 there were plenty of doubts about the former-striker's ability to lead one of the biggest clubs in world soccer. Three years later, after a drubbing at the hands of United's fiercest rival, many people in and around the club are wondering if Solskjaer's days in charge are numbered. Today, The Athletic's Laurie Whitwell takes us inside the fallout from United's terrible display against Liverpool and tells us what the Red Devils manager needs to do over the next few weeks to avoid getting the sack.
