Gary Neville claims Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not safe from the sack at Manchester United despite a 3-0 win at Tottenham on Sunday as he cannot forgive his former club for recent poor displays.
Solskjaer was under immense pressure after United were thrashed 5-0 at home to Liverpool last weekend - the Red Devils' fourth straight Premier League match without a victory.
The Norwegian boss changed tactics to a back three for the trip to Tottenham and goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Edinson Cavani and Marcus Rashford improved the mood in the Old Trafford camp, but Neville has remained critical of Solskjaer's United.
'It doesn't save his job,' Neville told Sky Sports after the win over Tottenham. 'It just keeps him a foot on the line - the first rung of the ladder - because there's two big games coming up this week. And there is still a lot of work to do.
'But he'll recognise he's got something to build on. That's all it is, because I'm not letting Manchester United players or the manager off the hook for that matter with one decent performance out of possession.
'That's something we've got to see now against Atalanta and (Man) City and every single week.'
Neville praised Solskjaer for switching to a back three following the Old Trafford massacre against arch-rivals Liverpool, but did admit that the change in tactics should have come earlier.
'They found something (on Sunday),' he added. 'People will point towards Tottenham's performance, a poor Tottenham team, but in the last few weeks it didn't matter who Manchester United had played, they conceded chances.
'Whether it's Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, Villarreal, Atalanta - they all created mountains of chances. And I'd been so criticial of Manchester United's out of possession work.
'To be one of the lowest in the league for tackles, pressures, bottom five or six in the league for distance covered, to make the most errors conceded to chances, that is a massive embarrassment.
'When you watched them in the last few weeks, their intensity out of possession to go win the ball back and hurt for the team - that's where the hard yards are done in football. I think that's been disgraceful to watch and that's been Ole's biggest problem.
'They've gone back to what I think Manchester United will be with this squad and this manager. This manager can't get them pressing, it's not in his nature. He's had them on the counter attack for three years.'

what has he given to the club.? strongly believe that you're one of the worst enemies of Manchester United, learn how to accept the truth.
He has given CR7, Sancho, and the list goes on. Titles will come at some point, maybe 2 or 3 years time, but he has brought stability to Man U GGMU

What hook, Ole was ever on any hook? Man U fans need to respect and appreciate Ole for all he has given to the club, he is the right man for the job.

Manchester United can play well without playing a back five that will render most of our talents useless.. Bruno and sancho can switch as they are both good crosser of the ball

After more than 3 years ole should be sacked now . its not coz his players are winning matches for him that he should remain at his post. this ole is so lucky that as soon as he is under pressure wind star to come his way to save his job. the truth is ole is an incompetent coach who should have been sacked a long time ago. but he reminded coz of the protection he receives from sir Alex and Ed Woodward. however after the 5-0 thrashing buy the pools this guy has no right to remain as the coach coz he is a joke. ole out.
Yes. The cycle keep repeating. I bet Man Utd gonna lose or draw in the next upcoming matches. If continue to let Ole in charge of Man Utd, Man Utd will never win trophy no matter how long. Sadly Man Utd board never listen to the fans, they only care about money.

actually put Victor because unlike the others, he has shown to have more useful passing range... but I sha feel he lacks the aggression and poise for the role but anyhow sha... so I'd easily swap his role with varane and even play bailey ahead of victor I sha just feel that it would be the best way to utilize our array of attackers with a 3 man defense formation... as for the bruno role, I feel he can play there based on the instruction... he played as CMF a lot at sporting so he knows the role, then its just to instruct him to maintain a CMF role when pressing off the ball... while in possession, I'd have a fullback tuck in in midfield to make the numbers in the event of a counter... so if we are attacking down the right, shaw drops into MF while rashford offers the width there... reverse if attacking down the right... rightly, the formation sacrifices our midfielders but you and I agree that they ain't good enough in the first place
