Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes it is only a matter of time before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is sacked by Manchester United.
United were tipped for big things this season after a summer transfer window that saw the club splash the cash.
Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane both arrived before Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the club from Juventus.
A draw with Everton at the weekend was the latest in a poor run of results and Hamman believes Ronaldo is already carrying his side.

And the former Germany international is also predicting that it won’t be long before Solskjaer is out of the door at Old Trafford.
"The one and only reason why United is still in the race for the Premier League title and doing alright in the Champions League is Cristiano Ronaldo,” he told Sky Sports.
"I don't even want to know where they would be without him and his goals. It is all patchwork. Old Trafford, that used to be the Theatre of Dreams. Right now it is more like nightmares than dreams.
"Their performance is pathetic at the moment. They just don't play good football. Jadon Sancho is way behind expectations which I don't understand.
“With Varane, they have a good player that has a lot of experience and with Ronaldo they have one who knows the Premier League.
"I thought it would not take long to integrate that into the team. I believe the pressure on the manager will grow a lot.
"I believe it is only a matter of when, not if, they sack him because he has been there for too long and you don't see any progress. They still play the same football that is not good to watch, that is not Manchester United.
"I think there will be a change of manager soon. Whether the new manager will be able to utilise their entire potential, we will have to see. But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not capable of that right now."
