After the 5-0 defeat to Liverpool in the last round of the league, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was on the verge of graduation. Yesterday, Samuel Luckhurst, chief reporter of the Manchester Evening News, answered a lot of questions about the future of solskjaer in a question-and-answer session, saying that the current players have completely distrusted Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and C Ronaldo has become the core of the locker room.
- Is Conte interested in taking over? Has the boss lost locker room support?
Conte was interested, the matter was made clear on Monday, and the answer to that question was all too obvious. The manager has indeed lost the support of the dressing room, and the players are currently relying on Ronaldo to maintain unity.
Is it inevitable that the coach will leave class?
Yes, he's running out of time, but he won't be out of class until Sunday. It's actually the ideal time to change managers, there are no games in midweek and there are still a few key games to save, but United have already decided.
—— Who is your ideal candidate for a new coach?
Personally, I like Enrique the most, he is good at using young people, the style of play is very attractive, but he signed with Spain until the end of the World Cup. After his daughter died, I don't think his family would want to move abroad.
- Team loss + leak, is the dressing room under Solskjaer more divided than ever? Are there small groups of players?
Yes, this is the most impressive. The players liked the man he was, but felt he was too indecisive. Some small groups of players can already face off with the boss, but they are still in the club, which is not conducive to his establishment of an authoritative position.
- If he loses to Tottenham, will the club fire him immediately, or will he have to wait until a successor is found?
No one in the squad has ever said "he's finished if he loses to Tottenham". About 48 hours or so after the fiasco to Liverpool, there was a sudden wave of belated support, which fully illustrated the hesitation of the United hierarchy and the lack of succession plans.
