“Take Ole out”: Man United told to sack Solskjaer and hire ex-Chelsea boss | OneFootball

Manchester United told to sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and hire former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte

Speaking on TalkSPORT (h/t Metro), former Aston Villa striker, Gabriel Agbonlahor, urged Manchester United to sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and replace him with Antonio Conte.

The Norwegian manager has come under heat after a dreadful run which has seen his side lose thrice in their last four games, the latest of which came in an embarrassing defeat at home to Aston Villa this Saturday.

One of the biggest talking points in that game was when Bruno Fernandes skied a penalty in added time with the scoreline at 0-1 and Cristiano Ronaldo still on the pitch.

According to Agbonlahor, a more experienced and able manager would have laid down the law and put Ronaldo on spot-kick duty, even if it meant hurting Bruno’s feelings.

Conte in, Ole out?

And the former Premier League striker cited the example of Chelsea and urged the United board to sack Solskjaer and bring in a serial winner such as Antonio Conte. The Italian, who has won the Premier League with Chelsea, also led Inter Milan to their first Scudetto in 11 years last season.

Agbonlahor is not entirely wrong in his assessment. The Norwegian is without a trophy since he joined as a manager and the clock seems to be running extra fast for him this season.
