Bryan Robson thinks Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should speak to Sir Alex Ferguson for advice amid Manchester United's poor form.
United signed Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo this summer and intended to challenge for the Premier League title, however, Solskjaer's future at the club has been thrown into doubt following months of lacklustre performances.
The Liverpool debacle and the Manchester derby defeat was the turning point for many regarding Solskjaer's future.
United find themselves nine points adrift of the Premier League leaders, Chelsea, and Robson - who made close to 200 appearances under Ferguson - thinks that Solskjaer should talk to the legendary former United boss more than he currently does for advice.
"As a manager, you shouldn't be afraid of somebody like Sir Alex," Robson told the Daily Mail.
"I would be saying, Gaffer, can I take you for a bite of lunch? I wouldn't be bothered if someone saw us in the restaurant. I would sit down with him and be picking things out. I'm not afraid of him losing me the job. I'd much sooner get his thoughts and ideas.
"If you want to implement them, you do. If you don't, then do your own thing. At the end of the day, as the manager you're the one who is going to get the bullet, nobody else. Since Sir Alex more or less retired, I think the only influence he's had was that he helped the club get Cristiano Ronaldo back. Other than that, he doesn't interfere.
"If people ever ask his advice, he'll tell it how it is. But he doesn't interfere with anybody at the club because he knows that everybody is scrutinising you. The club could tap into him more.
"They could exploit that experience where I don't think they have in the last six or seven years."
