According to The Daily Mirror’s Steve Bates, Manchester United will only sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer if they have a disastrous end to the season.
What’s the word?
The Red Devils have endured a frustrating campaign thus far, with impressive wins against the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City, punctured by defeats to the likes of Newcastle and Burnley.
As things stand, the Manchester side find themselves six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, and are residing in eighth in the Premier League table. And according to Bates, Mauricio Pochettino hasn’t given up hope of becoming the next United manager, although the only way the club will ditch Solskjaer, is “if they have another shocking end to the season and finish outside the top six”.

It’s further claimed that United’s owners are getting “twitchy” about potentially missing out on Champions League football for another season, and haven’t ruled out moving for Pochettino.
Take the gamble
If Pochettino is available and keen to take over at Old Trafford, then United simply must not hesitate.
Whilst he may not have won a single trophy in his time at Tottenham, the Argentine certainly did well in establishing Spurs into a Champions League regular .

United are facing a rebuilding job after several years without a Premier League title to their name, so could very much do with appointing someone like Pochettino. Unlike Solskjaer, he has far more considerable experience to manage at the top level, with stints at the likes of Espanyol, Southampton and Spurs.
It’s a proposition United simply can’t turn down.
Meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must end his misguided trust in this misfiring ace.
