for manchester united, he was the coach with the connection, the playing icon who became manager. no—one hoped the end would be like this. in 0le gunnar solskjaer�*s last match, his team were beaten 4—1 by watford, the end of a run of seven league games with one win and now three humiliations. last month, united lost 5—0 at home to liverpool and, on the same ground, were beaten by manchester city. defeat to bitter rivals have caused the most damage. the boys, of course, they're disappointed. they've let themselves down and the fans down. it's hard to stand here and explain that, but that's football, and we have to take the flak for it. solskjaerjoined united 25 years ago. he was the striker whose late goals meant so much. super sub has done it again! in 2018, he became temporary manager and their form was so good, he was the standout choice. but, as permanent boss,
manager and also kiran mckenna, who like michael carrick, has been a first—team coach, they are staying on at the moment to help carrick prepare the team for tuesday's champions league game against villa real and presumably the premier league game at chelsea next weekend. it also says in the club club are looking for someone to take over on an interim basis until the end of the season. that makes it appear that they may be looking at someone who is currently in a job, they may find it difficult to get out both the job. find it difficult to get out both thejob. to get find it difficult to get out both the job. to get them find it difficult to get out both thejob. to get them out find it difficult to get out both the job. to get them out of their position. that would raise the possibility of someone like moritz yeo or tino —— ratio pochettino at p56 yeo or tino —— ratio pochettino at
