Back to back defeats
Manchester
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to leave the club after Saturday’s 4-1 defeat by Watford. There has been no official confirmation but it is understood all the club’s senior figures, including owners the Glazers, have discussed his future.
It was decided the Watford loss would be Solskjaer’s last game in charge and the terms for his exit would be agreed.
Technical director Darren Fletcher is set to take over for Tuesday’s Champions League trip to Villarreal. It is possible first-team coach Michael Carrick could remain at Old Trafford despite being part of a management team responsible for a terrible run of results during which United have won just four of their last 13 games and two of their last eight. Some felt the 48-year-old was fortunate to survive during the recent international break, before which United suffered a 5-0 home defeat by Liverpool.
