Manchester United were on the wrong side of a 5-0 drubbing by Liverpool in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday. The Reds looked like a team on a mission as they tore apart United's defence attack after attack. The pressure on United's boss Ole Gunnar Solskjær is at an all-time high. According to Red Devils fan and UFC superstar Conor McGregor, Solskjaer's role at the club needs to be 'readjusted' and someone with more 'command' needs to be brought in.

"The issue at United is it’s just bunch of youngfellas talking to each other", Conor McGregor wrote on Twitter. "Peers. You need someone above the group chat to take the helm. Ole was on the bench when Ronaldo played. A peer. Not enough. Love and respect Ole to the max but his roles need rearranged. My opinion", he added. 

Someone then wrote "Ole Out!" and the UFC superstar responded by Tweeting that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should stay and not be sacked but reiterated that his role needs to be changed.

"Never Ole out you silly fool. Ole is forever United! His role simply needs to be readjusted, and again, someone above the group chat needs to be brought in. Someone to command the young squad. God bless", replied Conor McGregor.
