The publication also quoted a source suggesting that the Man United boss may not have the full respect of his players, with the source mentioning that Solskjaer may need a few wins under his belt to restore credibility with the players. Media reports covering Man United news also mentioned how a number of the most important members of the squad have questioned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tactics, with many worried that 47-year-old isn’t equipped to get the best out of the side’s attacking players. 

Mauricio Pochettino feelers sent out by Man United?

While the publication concluded by mentioning that Solskjaer is still a popular figure at the club, it also revealed that the club’s intermediaries have begun sounding out former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino. The 48-year-old has been out of work since being sacked by Tottenham last year and has repeatedly talked about a return to the Premier League being his priority. However, sources speaking to The Independent reiterated that Solskjaer’s job is not in danger, with no one at the club looking for a reason to sack him.

However, the same sources speaking to the publication about Man United news hinted that Solskjaer faces a ‘big month’. The club resumes its Premier League campaign with the Newcastle vs Man United game and begins a potentially season-defining run.

Over the next few games, Man United will face Paris Saint-Germain away, Chelsea at home, RB Leipzig at home, Arsenal at home, Istanbul Basaksehir away and an in-form Everton away. While multiple reports suggest that Solskjaer’s job at Man United is safe for now, a poor return from the above fixtures could spell trouble for the Man United legend.
