After Sir Alex Ferguson’s backing, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been handed three games to rescue his Manchester United job

 

 

According to the Telegraph, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been handed three more games to preserve his job.

United does not feel there is a suitable internal candidate to take over as caretaker, according to the report.

Antonio Conte wants the job, but they’re not convinced if he’s the appropriate guy for the job.

The club also dislikes the thought of making a change this early in the season and replacing him with someone who would demand changes to the coaching staff.

Sir Alex Ferguson, Solskjaer’s previous manager, may be to thank for buying him more time.

During United’s 5-0 defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford last weekend, Ferguson appeared devastated.

The United icon was in attendance to witness his former team take on their fierce rivals.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Ferguson pushed for United to retain Solskjaer for now.
