Pochettino is Man United’s No.1 choice but there’s no reason for him to leave PSG | OneFootball

The pressure continues to build on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after Manchester United’s abject humiliation at the hands of north east rivals, Liverpool.

An away fixture at Tottenham this coming weekend has now become a ‘must win’ ahead of other difficult and important Champions League and Premier League fixtures.

Even if Solskjaer manages to turn things around, the nature of the 5-0 loss and the inability to properly explain post-match how he intends to right that wrong isn’t likely to help his cause.

If there’s any real hint of the manager’s job being under serious threat, there’ll almost certainly be a long line of prospective suitors ready to step into his shoes.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer isn’t doing the most convincing job at Manchester United
