Manchester United fans have simple message for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after Man City defeat

Manchester United fans have called for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to be sacked after the Reds' defeat in the Manchester derby.

United went one goal down against Manchester City within 10 minutes when Eric Bailly scored an own goal and Bernardo Silva doubled the visitor's lead on the stroke of the break after taking advantage of embarrassing and amateurish defending.

There was a chorus of boos heard at Old Trafford at full-time but no direct chants in opposition of Solskjaer were heard.

There was tangible anger on social media after the game with United losing another important game, though.

Solskjaer was temporarily relieved of pressure when United beat Tottenham 3-0 last weekend following the Liverpool debacle, however, his side looked inferior in every area to Pep Guardiola's side on Saturday afternoon and the display was tepid.

Some United supporters took to social media to ask for Solskjaer to part ways with the club.

It's now the international break and it's not yet known whether Solskjaer will remain in charge of United after that period.
