Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is “out of his depth” according to John O’ Kane.
The former United defender also criticised the Norwegian's coaching staff, claiming they’re “learning on the job”.
Solskjaer is coming under mounting pressure after a run of poor results, with United winning just one of their last four games in all competitions and O'Kane didn't hold back in his analysis of United's managerial team.
“We know Ole was brought in to appease the fans, because it was toxic under Jose Mourinho,” O'Kane told The Mirror.
“Ole has come in and he's a lovely guy - but he's not the manager for United. He's out of his depth.
“Look at the coaching staff he's got there – they're just not good enough.
“Mike Phelan is a top bloke, one of the nicest blokes I've met in football, but look where he's come from.
“Kieran McKenna, a former Under-18s coach, Michael Carrick – they're all learning on the job and this is the biggest club in the world.”
O'Kane also accused Solskjaer of doing what's best for himself rather than United with his team selections.
He added: “Since they got hammered 6-1 at home by Spurs last season, he's reverted to playing two defensive midfielders,
“The safe option. I call it self-preservation. They need a better manager in there, but all the fans love Ole, don't they?
“The Glazers are clever people, they've basically appointed a patsy who they know the fans will never go against.”
