'Embarrassed' Solskjaer apologises after Man Utd thrashed at Watford

United manager Solskjaer is facing even more frenzied speculation over his future after a fifth defeat in seven Premier League games.

The club's hierarchy stuck by Solskjaer during the recent international break despite humiliating home defeats to Liverpool and Manchester City.

But worse was to come at Vicarage Road as the struggling Hornets could afford to miss a first-half penalty twice and still run out comfortable winners.

"I feel for the fans and I feel the same as them. We're embarrassed by losing the way we do," Solskjaer told 'Sky Sports'.

"We know we are in a very bad run and a bad situation, but that's football and I know they'll support whoever is on the pitch every day, and sometimes you've got to say sorry."

While United's owners, the Glazer family, have stayed loyal to Solskjaer so far, they may feel compelled to wield the axe after the latest humiliation for a team spiralling into crisis.

Solskjaer insisted he was not concerned about speculation over his future, but he did concede United's current results were unacceptable.

"I'm working for and with the club and I've done that for 18 years," he said.

"We've got a good communication and if the club were thinking about doing something then that is between me and the club.

"The results are not good enough, we know that. We've gone 30 games unbeaten away from home and now we've lost two on the bounce and conceded four goals in both of them, so of course something's wrong."
