That is not an excuse. I don't think Manchester United will sack Ole Solskjaer this season. Retaining Ole Solskjaer means Manchester United forfeit all hope of wining any trophy. The team will continue to play badly under Ole Solskjaer poor strategy. His strategies are not working and he doesn't have any new ideas that are good. There is no easy fixture for United this season even with the best in the world in the team
Everything has limits and Ole has been given three seasons in Old Trafford with too good support from the board. The support he got is totally different from what Moyes, Van Gaal or Mourinho.
If results won't be improved, Ole won't be saved in the club. He will be fired but it seems he is very lucky. Whenever he is in the verge of sack, he was saved by players. We witnessed it again in the last few matches before the derby defeat.
The issue for United is they will not easily to find another good coach on the market, now or even next summer.
