Three of those defeats came under Claudio Ranieri, on whom the jury is still out despite that memorable comeback victory at Goodison Park. Watford’s sensational 5-2 win at Everton may feature most prominently in the memory, but the Hornets have lost four of their last five matches. The absence of a clear chain of command in the United hierarchy has worked in his favour up to now, but Solskjaer’s position may soon become untenable.Īfter all, the Red Devils are almost certainly out of the Premier League title race already, and defeat at Vicarage Road could see them sink into mid-table if other results go against them this weekend. Yet for all that Solskjaer remains a United legend, he will surely not be able to survive too many more bad results. The Norwegian survived last month’s seismic 5-0 demolition by Liverpool and was also able to ride out the 2-0 defeat by Manchester City before the international break, a loss which was much more comprehensive than the scoreline suggests. Manchester United will be looking to bounce back from defeat in the Manchester derby when they face Watford on Saturday afternoon.Īfter a brief uptick which brought positive results against Tottenham and Atalanta, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer finds himself under massive pressure once more.
