DBasia.news – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s determination to continue managing Manchester United is very strong. He asked for one last chance to prove himself worthy of the responsibility.
Solskjaer’s position as manager of Manchester United is again in danger of dismissal. It was inseparable from the disappointing performance of the Red Devils in the Manchester Derby.
In the match which took place at Old Trafford, Saturday (6/11), Manchester United were beaten 0-2 by Manchester City. Bruno Fernandes and his team mates practically did not move in front of their city rivals.
These results and performances has made Solskjaer’s quality again in doubt to handle a team as big as Manchester United. The British giant was indeed starting to scatter from the title race.
A number of replacement candidate names have also surfaced. Brendan Rodgers and Ralf Rangnick are now the most frequently mentioned.
Even so, it is believed that Manchester United officials will not dismiss Solskjaer in the near future. The status of the replacement candidates who are still under contract is one of the reasons.
Solskjaer himself is still confident of being able to maintain his position. He promised to show a different game in the next match against Watford.
“Players are human and when you lose a football game, there’s no better medicine than winning the game and getting your confidence back,” said Solskjaer.
“We have to face Watford like injured animals and get back to the form we know. That’s the only way to turn the situation around.”
The match against Watford will take place after the international break. That means Solskjaer has two weeks to prepare for the promised game.
Solskjaer certainly hopes that his key players do not suffer injuries while strengthening their countries. But he also must first restore their confidence which was crushed after the defeat to Manchester City.
The result of the match against Watford could indeed determine Solskjaer’s future. Defeat could make Manchester United officials sure to find another manager and fire him.
