Man United taking on Watford this weekend was supposed to be the redemption for the manager and all the players after they went down to Manchester City before the international break.
But forget about picking up a win, Man United have gone ahead and slumped to a 4-1 loss vs the Hornets as they were reduced to 10 men after Harry Maguire’s sending off.
United went 2-0 down the first half and just as they were creeping back into the match, Maguire sent himself off after losing control of the ball and making a really silly challenge.
The loss means Man United have won just one out of their previous seven Premier League matches and Solskjaer’s job is hanging by a thread. United have more or less hit rock bottom after this result and the only way up from here onwards is to sack the Norwegian and bring in a new manager.
The internet has obviously boiled up after this result and the Man United fans are very much certain that they wish to see a new boss take charge of the side asap.
Here’s how social media reacted to Man United losing 4-1:
Despite what the fans may think but it seems like Solskjaer has still not lost the dressing room, as shown by Bruno Fernandes after the match.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær apologies to Man United fans. Bruno Fernandes sends a clear message to the whole team – like ‘don’t blame only the manager’. 🔴 #MUFC

Fernandes is speaking to one of the broadcasters. Seemed like he was suggesting the fans shouldn't boo Solskjaer but blame the players. #mufc

Solskjaer specifically and loudly booed at full-time #mufc pic.twitter.com/zpVBeLohVM

Got to go now. It’s become farcical #mufc

Now clearly it doesn’t matter what the players are thinking since Ole no longer has the backing of the fans.
Solskjaer did say Manchester United fans would see a reaction. He was right – they got worse.

What an incredible decision from Manchester United's board to stick with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer over the last two international breaks. There's a vacuum of leadership at the executive level of the club threatening to permanently put them behind Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool. https://t.co/hc8WCmzZ0n

United have already missed two opportunities to sack Solskjaer this season but that surely has to be it after a new low. Five defeats from seven in the league, four points from a possible 21. This is a squad which should be challenging for the title, that's long gone #mufc

🥴 Manchester United are now closer to bottom (11 points) than first (12 points) in the Premier League #WATMUN

Well, if we were looking for a return to the good old days at Manchester United, at least we’ve seen two goals in injury time.

Shocker for United 🤦🏻

And then obviously there was Harry Maguire.
Harry Maguire has just been sent off. But it’s ok because he’s already silenced all of his critics by scoring against Albania and San Marino. 🤣 pic.twitter.com/s6P7I7oK7F

I swear to god Harry Maguire was one of the best defenders in the league last season.

This loss now means Man United have now slipped to the seventh spot on the Premier League table, losing four out of their previous five outings. And things are only going to get worse from here as they now face Chelsea and Arsenal in their next two league games.
