Utd stars 'begin to question Solskjaer's tactics as Woodward is losing patience'

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is fighting to save his job and losing the confidence of those in charge at Manchester United.

Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, who handed Solskjaer a three-year deal in March, is understood to be losing patience with the team's woeful form.

A heavy defeat to arch rivals and Premier League leaders Liverpool, United's next opponents after the international break, could be the end for Solskjaer.

It is understood several of United's senior players have begun to question Solskjaer's tactical acumen, while his claim that he “needed to sort their heads out” after the Newcastle game has not gone down well within the dressing-room.
