Man Utd chief Ed Woodward’s stance on sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after Burnley defeat

Manchester United chief Ed Woodward has backed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to remain in charge of the club. The United manager retained the board’s support despite the Red Devils losing 2-0 at home to Burnley on Wednesday night, according to Sky Sports.

United have made their worst league start to a campaign since the 1988-1989 season.

Solskjaer has now lost 12 Premier League matches as the Red Devils’ permanent boss – more than he’s won.

The Norwegian could have seen the club move to within three points of fourth-placed Chelsea with a win over Burnley on Wednesday night.

But, the 2-0 defeat was a major dent in their hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
