After a period of relative calm with Solskjaer's arrival at Man Utd, the performances have got worse, which has provoked a crisis of results. Now, the Norwegian tries to take control again. The United dressing room are not going through the best of times. They lost against Wolverhampton and then they failed to score a single goal against Barcelona over the two legs. After losing 4-0 at Goodison Park against Everton, everything kicked off. The only victory which the 'Red Devils' achieved in the last four matches was against West Ham (2-1).
According to 'Daily Mirror', the players and the coaching staff were arguing for more than half an hour in the away dressing room and voices were raised.
According to the cited media outlet, the joy at Solskjaer's appointment has disappeared. Since the fightback against PSG, United have lost six games and won just two in eight games in all competitions. Now, the atmosphere is similiar to the one in the final months of Mourinho's reign on the bench and as Gary Neville said, Solskjaer is now thinking of "having a clear out" and getting rid of players which he considers "weed."
After the setback against Everton, the coach apologised to the fans, but, in addition, left a message for his squad: he said that some of them should realise where they are. And some 'Red Devils' players have been singled out after the encounter like Pogba and Rashford, who did not give any good signs against Barca.
In fact, Solskjaer's comments have also been interpreted as having a go at Pogba, who Neville says is distracted by Real Madrid's interest and who apologised to fans. The Frenchman is one of the footballers who could be on the way out as well as Romelu Lukaku. The English club are appàrently considering his exit, for which the coach would be without his main striker. United will have to face Manchester City under this hostile atmosphere on Wednesday and then next Sunday against Chelsea in a fight for the top four.
