Manchester United sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Manchester United sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. It has been very difficult for him the last two month but now Michael Carrick will take over until the end of the season. He lost 5 games out of his last 7 games and this forced the club to show him the way out. But this is not a shock because his performances sent a signal to many that it was going to happen.

Some people said that Ole is not the problem but the club owners but some say that it is also the players.

“Ole leaves with our sincerest thanks for his tireless efforts as manager and our very best wishes for the future.

“His place in the club’s history will always be secure, not just for his story as a player, but as a great man and a manager who gave us many great moments. He will forever be welcome back at Old Trafford as part of the Manchester United family.”

United goalkeeper David de Gea described his side’s defeat by Watford as “embarrassing” and “another nightmare”.

“We don’t know what to do with the ball, we are conceding a lot of goals. It’s a horrible moment,” he added.

Man of the match: Emmanuel Dennis

Watford boss Claudio Ranieri: “We were very good. The first half was amazing. We pressed a lot, made a lot of chances, and in the second half we suffered a lot, but that’s normal against Manchester United. They wanted to draw, but a good thing for us was the red card. After that it was much better, we could close the spaces and create counter-attacks.

“I am speaking a lot about this kind of philosophy, I want to knock at the door and see which team I have in front of me. The players, slowly, understand my philosophy, how I want to play, and I’m very satisfied today.”

Manchester United head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: “I always have belief in myself, but at the moment it’s a difficult time for us. I can trust every single one of them to give what they have, but the results are difficult. I believe we can turn this round.

“I am working for and with the club. Of course we have a good communication and if the club are thinking of doing something that is a conversation between us.”
