Manchester United players expecting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sack?

A number of Manchester United players believe Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be dismissed from the head coach position in the near future.

The Red Devils have made a poor beginning to the current season and they have registered just three points from the first three league games.

According to Duncan Castles, the club's hierarchy are assessing the position of Solskjaer and the Norwegian could be sacked if the results fail to improve.

It is added that the majority of the first-team squad have the assumption that Solskjaer will be replaced sooner rather than later.

Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is mentioned as the leading candidate to take charge in case Solskjaer leaves.

United return from the international break with an away Premier League trip to Newcastle United on Saturday night.

St. James' Park has not been a happy hunting ground for them and they have picked up just one win from the previous four meetings.
