Manchester United: More calls for Solskjaer sacking following derby day defeat

 Manchester United's derby defeat by City on Saturday brought more calls for the dismissal of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The nature of the 2-0 loss against Pep Guardiola's men, coming less than a fortnight after the record 5-0 home humiliation by Liverpool, has led many - including fans who have previously backed Solskjaer - to conclude the Norwegian has taken United as far as he can.

Yet, despite the comprehensive defeats against their biggest rivals, and a run of form that has seen them collect just four points from their last six Premier League games, there is still no indication from Old Trafford that a change is going to take place.

It would be brave to state definitively that Solskjaer was safe given international breaks are notoriously a time when clubs get rid of managers - Aston Villa, Norwich and Middlesbrough have already done so since their weekend games finished.

But, to the incredulity and bewilderment of many observers, he could well survive.
