Ole Gunnar Solskjaer pressure mounts at Manchester United as he is tipped for next Premier League boss axe

Under fire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been touted as the next boss to lose his job in the English Premier League.

That's ahead of Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce, who has widely been tipped to leave St James Park following the Saudi takeover.

Just two wins from Manchester United’s last seven fixtures have seen the pressure ramp up on the Norwegian.

Leicester compounded as the misery around the club as they ran out 4-2 winners, despite a difficult start for the Foxes under Brendan Rodgers this term.

To add to the disappointing run, it comes after a blockbuster summer window which saw the club splash the cash and bring in Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho.

After seeing his Watford side lose 5-0 to Liverpool in his opening game in charge, Claudio Ranieri has come under immediate pressure.

William Hill have the Hornets boss at 11/2, while Daniel Farke, still seeking his first win as Norwich boss this season, is a 7/1 chance alongside Nuno Espirito Santo.

William Hill spokesperson Rupert Adams said: “Ole Gunnar Solskjaer doesn’t seem to be able to get the best out his players and you feel the Manchester United hierarchy won’t accept the team’s current performances for much longer.

“We make Solskjaer the 7/2 favourite to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job after Steve Bruce’s seemingly inevitable exit at Newcastle, with Claudio Ranieri next best at 11/2.”
