Manchester – November 10 (Online): Former United and England defender Rio Ferdinand has questioned Manchester United boss Ole Gunner Solskjaer’s further stay at his office, suggesting that ‘it’s time for Solskjaer to hand over the button’
According to BBC, Solskjaer is under intense pressure following Saturday’s home defeat by Manchester City and the 5-0 thrashing by Liverpool last month.
Speaking on his Vibe with Five YouTube show, Ferdinand said it might be time for the Norwegian to leave the Old Trafford club, adding he “would leave with his head held high”.
“From where he came in to where he got us at the beginning of this season, I think it’s positive,” said Ferdinand.
Solskjaer has found himself under increased scrutiny after the 2-0 derby defeat, which came 13 days on from the humiliating 5-0 home loss to Liverpool.
United have picked up just four points from their past six league games and are sixth in the table, nine points behind leaders Chelsea.
“I look at our team every week and wonder what we are going to do, tactically,” added the 43-year-old, who won six league titles in 12 years at United.
“I don’t see any philosophy or an identity in the United way of playing, whatever that should be from the management. I sit here confused looking at the team.
