Man United manager Ole Solskjaer has been under constant pressure this season and with each passing game, it looks like the Norwegian’s job is more under threat.
As of now, the Red Devils have managed to pick up only nine points from their first 8 matches and are sitting on the 12th spot of the Premier League table.
And to make matters worse, Solskjaer will welcome league leaders and arch-rivals, Liverpool to Old Trafford on Sunday.
Liverpool are yet to drop a point in the Premier League this season and according to pundit Charlie Nicholas, Solskjaer will be using the Jose Mourinho tactic when Liverpool come to town.
Nicholas believes the Man United boss will ‘park the bus’ vs the Merseyside outfit and will try to play for a draw on Sunday.
Nicholas wrote: “I think because of the desire from Man Utd, an average team at the moment, and given the chance to turn it on and knock Liverpool’s chances of winning the league, they may well do that.
“Why does it take this for them to become motivated? If they draw do they take credit from that? As an Arsenal fan, this always used to be the game for them and was the one I was always intrigued by.
“It was always at Old Trafford where the great games were. Anfield was more atmospheric and vibrant, but this was always the test for Liverpool, as they have never won the Premier League.
“They have battered them on a few occasions and Man Utd still won the title, but this is do or die for United and a day of credibility for them to try and get a point, which I think they will do.
“They will scrap and sit in, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer knows that – they will not play expansively here.
“Man Utd will not want to get beat and walk away. This is a ‘parking the bus’ kind of game, in which they cannot take a risk.
“If they get beat and Liverpool embarrass them, then it could spell even more danger for Solskjaer.
“I feel Marcus Rashford will offer something here.”
