13 unwanted records that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has set at Man Utd | OneFootball

While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has done some good work at Manchester United, he’s also set a string of unwanted records during his time in the dugout.

Solskjaer has received a lot of criticism in recent weeks following a poor start to the season and could be replaced if he doesn’t turn things around.

We’ve taken a look at 13 stats that the manager definitely won’t be proud of.

– Twenty-one percent of United’s 63 home defeats in Premier League history have come under Solskjaer, who has lost 13 out of 55.

– In 2019-20, United endured their worst start to a league season since 1986-87, picking up just 10 points from their opening nine games.

– The Norwegian is the only United manager to have lost a European home game by a margin of more than one goal.

– Tottenham recorded their biggest ever win over United at Old Trafford in October 2020, comfortably beating Solskjaer’s side 6-1.

– The Red Devils haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last 14 home games, their longest run without once since 1959.

– While 2021 isn’t over yet, United have already lost eight home games in all competitions in a single year for the first time since 1989.
