Manchester United has
struggled to defeat the Premier League’s lesser sides this season. Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer has the worst win-rate at Old Trafford of any permanent Manchester
United boss in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.
The
Norwegian chief has won just 53.3 percent of his home matches since taking over
as a caretaker in December 2018. Football

its stunning performances.
That record is worse
than all of David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Mourinho as the cracks continue to
show. Moyes lasted less than a season at Manchester United after Ferguson but
even he mustered a win-rate of 56 percent on home turf.
Mourinho is miles above
both of them at 65.2 percent but the top spot goes to Van Gaal at 66 percent. The
record will be a real worry for Solskjaer who is under ever-increasing pressure
at Manchester United.
The former Molde and
Cardiff boss 46 got off to a roaring start after taking over from Mourinho on
an interim basis. But after being given the job permanently in March 2019,
United's form fell off a cliff.
Manchester United Premier League review
The Red Devils have won
just eight times, home or away in their 21 Premier League
matches this term. They sit a staggering 27 points behind arch-rivals Liverpool
in the league, something that would have been unthinkable under Fergie.
Manchester United's
next game will be at home as they take on bottom-of-the-league Norwich. Solskjaer arguably
would not have a better chance to boost his paltry winning record at home.
A victory on Saturday
would see his percentage take a minor bump up to 54.8 percent, still behind
Moyes and Co.
In the wake of Manchester
United's dreadful run of form, Solskjaer has revealed ALL of his
squad are under the microscope and are now playing for their futures.
With 10 players
out of contract between now and the summer of 2021, they ought to heed that
warning sooner rather than later.
Manchester
United manager Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer wants to bring in a sports psychologist to improve his
players’ mentality against lesser sides. Manchester United has lost to
relegation candidates Crystal Palace, West Ham, Newcastle, Bournemouth, and Watford in
the league this season.
The Norwegian coach has
become disillusioned with his side’s inability to turn up against smaller
clubs, with Manchester United’s complacency leaving them six points adrift of
fourth-placed Chelsea albeit with one game in hand.
Manchester United have
performed surprisingly well against the top-six outfits, registering wins
against Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham, but Solskjaer is desperate to
have the best of both worlds.
The Sun report
According to The
Sun, Manchester United boss instructed staff to find the best sports
psychologist they can to remedy the side's woes against bottom-half opposition.
Solskjaer has accepted
that he has been unable to inspire his players to prepare mentally in the same
manner for games not on the grand stage and is now open to outside help.
Manchester United’s
next Premier League test comes against 14th-placed Burnley at Old Trafford on
Wednesday night and Solskjaer will be keeping a close on which players turn up
for the occasion.
The Red Devils have
drawn their last three home games against the Clarets with Victor Lindelof’s
injury-time equalizer salvaging a 2-2 draw last term. Burnley head into the
game off the back of a shock 2-1 win over Leicester on Sunday, before which
they had lost four successive top-flight games.
Solskjaer is aware of
the task facing his side and believes Manchester United will need to graft hard
to earn three points.
Solskjaer saying
"We played them
two or three weeks ago," the 46-year-old said. "We had to work hard
to get the points. We played well, we defended well, and, every time we play against
Sean Dyche’s team, we know we have to earn it.
“He is Dyche doing fantastic,
I have to say. That is all I can say.”
We can talk about
resources and his players; we can talk about us being stretched, that we are
missing players now. Of course, he is missing the injured Ashley Barnes and
they have got players that can come in.
Looking back to the
mettle his side showed last season in the 2-2 draw, Solskjaer added: Last
season here was the first time I saw the players coming back from a setback.
We were 2-0 down with
seven or eight minutes to go, we got back into the game with 2-2, so we are
going to approach this game as we would do if they had won five in a row. They
will always give you a tough game.
