Man Utd players 'will get Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sacked' claims former Wales international


Thursday 11th July 2019

By Ian Mitchelmore

Former Wales star Dean Saunders does not believe Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will see out the 2019/20 season at Manchester United.

The former Cardiff City boss took charge at Old Trafford in December 2018 on a caretaker basis following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.

He was given the job permanently earlier this year, although the Red Devils endured a miserable end to the campaign which included a 2-0 home defeat to Solskjaer's former club Cardiff.

And Saunders - who won 75 caps for Wales between 1986 and 2001 - believes the majority of the current crop of first team players at Old Trafford will get Solskjaer the sack.






When asked by Alan Brazil if he thinks the Norwegian will see out the season at Old Trafford, Saunders said: “I don’t think he will, Al.

“I just think he’s walked into a mess and he’s got such a difficult job.

“These players, with one or two exceptions, have got three managers the sack.

“These players have just got Mourinho the sack and if Solskjaer doesn’t get his own players on the pitch they’ll get him the sack, and he knows that.


“He knows if he keeps on with these players and doesn’t change the personnel, he’ll get sacked.

“I think he needs some help, you’ve got to write some cheques and get the job done, get the people you want out the building out as quick as possible.”

He will get himself the sack because he’s tactically inept.

Roy Keane said towards the end of last season that it's the same players that threw Mourinho under the bus and they'll do exactly the same to Ole.

Think that's spot on, whatever you think of Ole's managerial ability.

He'll do that to himself. I think the players love him because of how soft he is.

Pogba is a double whammy for OGS; as he'll be a problem if he stays (lack of commitment again) and a problem if he goes (no one to replace him)

Either way, the (sarcastically) patient ManUre fans will see either occurrence as a factor against OGS staying

IMHO, they missed a trick by not supporting Jose Mourinho when that would have sent a statement to the players, fans and circling media
