DBasia.news – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s future as manager of Manchester United will be determined by the results of the match against Everton on Saturday (7/11). Yet history seemed to be on his side.
Solskjaer should be cautious considering that Everton are not just any opponent. The Toffes’ performance has also improved rapidly this season after the arrival of James Rodriguez.
Moreover, Everton will act as host in the match later. In two trips to Goodison Park since Solskjaer, Manchester United have never won with one goal and one defeat.
Another factor that should be highlighted by Solskjaer is related to the trend of Manchester United officials who like to fire their managers after having bad results in the city of Liverpool.
This trend has taken two victims, namely David Moyes and Jose Mourinho. Both were defeated after losing in the city of Liverpool.
Moyes had to step down from his post for less than a season. He was fired on April 22, 2014 or after working for 10 months.
The dismissal could not be separated from the minor results achieved two days earlier. Manchester United were beaten 0-2 when they visited Everton’s headquarters.
The same thing happened to Mourinho. He was fired two days after Manchester United fell 1-3 at Liverpool on December 16, 2018.
It is not impossible that the bad tradition will repeat itself and Solskjaer will become the next victim. However, the Norwegian national still has a chance to break the curse.
Solskjaer has the capital to save his position. He survived several threats of dismissal and brought Manchester United out of a negative trend.
