Manchester United are continuing to back Ole Gunnar Solskjaer despite the club's latest setback on Wednesday night.
The 2-0 defeat to Burnley at Old Trafford has led to more speculation over his future as manager and some bookmakers have made him favourite to be the next Premier League boss to leave his job.
But United's support for Solskjaer remains firm and he continues to have the backing of the board as well as players and staff, with an understanding that turning United's fortunes around will be a long-term project.
As a result United are not considering a change in the dugout.
The defeat to Burnley leaves United six points adrift of the top four, but they remain fifth despite suffering eight defeats in 24 Premier League games this season.
The points tally of 34 is their worst after 24 games since 1988/89 however and they sit fifth due to the fact that top-six rivals Tottenham and Arsenal are also having disappointing seasons, while United have failed to take advantage of Chelsea's recent slip-ups in fourth.
At the end of last season Solskjaer admitted United's squad needed a "rebuild" and there is an understanding within the club that this will be a long-term process, one that began with the signings of Daniel James, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire.
United remain in the market for reinforcements in the January transfer window to help a squad that Solskjaer has admitted has become stretched thanks to injuries.
The defeat to Burnley was again played out to the backdrop of protests at Old Trafford. Victory over Norwich saw chants against Ed Woodward and the Glazer family and they began midway through the first half against the Clarets.
Once Sean Dyche's side had gone 2-0 up there were chants of "We want United back" and "Stand up if you hate Glazers", with the Stretford End making it clear who they blame for United's current malaise, with match-going fans continuing to back Solskjaer.
