Reports | Ole Gunnar Solskjaer prepared to step down if it's best decision

However, once Solskjaer's appointment became permanent the results and team balance started to fade with the Red Devils only managing to win 6 of his 21 games as the permanent manager. The Manchester club has managed to pick up just 9 points in 8 games but that means this is their worst league start in 30 years causing anger and disappointment among supporters.

There have been debates on whether Solskjaer should remain at the helm or not and the Metro has reported that the club legend would consider stepping down if its in the club’s best interests. The bare minimum expectation from the former Molde boss was to guide Manchester United back to the top four and the UEFA Champions League but looking at the current scenario the chances of fulfilling that prospect is highly unlikely.

The Old Trafford club cannot afford to dismiss another manager having 5 managerial changes since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013. The board remains hopeful that Solskjaer will improve things through his vision and techniques and he has always vouched for a long term plan. That has impressed the board more than anything and reports indicate that they believe in his long-term plan.
