Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ALREADY facing Man Utd sack, claims Jamie Redknapp

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is already running the risk of the sack at Manchester United , according to Jamie Redknapp.

Former Liverpool and Tottenham midfielder Redknapp believes the Norwegian will be on borrowed time at Old Trafford if the Red Devils have a slow start to next season.

United's horror run of form continued at Huddersfield on Sunday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by the basement-dwelling Terriers, ending their hopes of a top-four finish.

Solskjaer's men are winless in their last five and have tasted victory just twice in 11 games since knocking Paris Saint-Germain out of the Champions League in early March.

"I do not for one minute want Solskjaer to fail but already it feels like the scale of the job could be too big for him," Redknapp wrote in his column in the Daily Mail.

"We do not know if United tried to lure Mauricio Pochettino from Tottenham but executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward must be wondering if he has made a mistake.

"Solskjaer has been entrusted with one of the biggest brands in world sport. It is now six years and counting since United last won the Premier League title.

"Regardless of the size of the task at hand, he will be under immense pressure should United be several points off the pace and languishing in sixth place again come October."

United complete their season at home to already-relegated Cardiff on Sunday.
