Breaking news: Man Utd stars 'crying in dressing room' as sack looms for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

 

Manchester United  players and staff were 

reportedly seen crying in the dressing room 

following their 4-1 defeat to Watford as the 

sack looms over Ole Gunnar Solksjaer.

 

Reports suggest that the Red Devils players

 are now expecting the departure of the 

Norwegian boss following their dismal display

 at Vicarage Road on Saturday afternoon.

And it is understood some members of the

 United became overwhelmed as it is looks 

increasingly likely that it could be Solskjaer’s 

final game in charge, with a report from the

Manchester Evening news Claiming some 

were reduced to tears after the game.

late on against Watford at Vicarage Road

Solskjaer was already under immense 

pressure after a humiliating 5-0 defeat at the 

hands of Liverpool at  Old Trafford earlier 

this month. 

His position was thought to be in grave 

danger when they were swept aside by 

Manchester city a week later, but Solskjaer 

survived the international period after the 

Man United board met to discuss his future.

However, he may not survive after their

 latest setback as various reports suggest 

the Man United hierarchy have scheduled 

an emergency meeting to discuss his future

 on Saturday evening.

His United side were well beaten after a 

dominant first-half display by Watford saw

 them race into a two-goal lead.

Ismaila Sarr had seen two spot-kicks saved 

by David de Gea after VAR forced a retake 

for encroachment when Kiko Femenia struck

 home the rebound.

But the Hornets recovered to take the lead

 through Joshua King and Sarr soon made 

amends for his penalty horror show with a 

fine effort from a tight angle.

Substitute Donny van de Beek got one back

 five minutes after coming off the bench 

but Harry Maguire’s red card dashed their 

hopes of an equaliser.

But Joao Pedro and Emmanuel Dennis made

 sure of the three points in stoppage time 

to pile the pressure on Solskjaer.

Solskjaer walked over to the away end 

at full-time and waved to the fans in the 

crowd, apologising for the team’s performance 

in his post-match interview.

And the 48-year-old was defiant that 

he can turn the results around despite their

 poor recent form.

“I always have belief in myself," Solskjaer 

said after the game. 

"Of course, at the minute it's a difficult time

 for us. I can see, I can trust every 

single one out there to give their all. The 

staff are fantastic. 

“But the results are difficult. I believe we 

can turn this around." 

Their latest defeat on the road means United

 have picked up only four points since 

September 25 — the worst record of any 

Premier League side. 

The Red Devils have also lost five of their 

last seven matches in the Premier League,

 with Solskjaer heavily backed by the 

bookmakers to leave his position in the near

 future.

Leceister City head coach Brendan 

Rodgers has been installed as the early 

favourite to replace Solskjaer should he 

be relieved of his duties. 

Former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane

 and Ajax manager Erik ten Hag are also 

thought to be under consideration. 

It remains to be seen whether Solskjaer 

will still be in the dugout for Man United's 

next fixture on Tuesday, an away trip to face

 Villarreal in the Champions League.
