To now several replacements have been lined up with former Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte, Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers, Zinedine Zidane, and Ajax coach Ten Haag.

In his post-match briefing, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said that he was not close to giving up hinting a no resignation.

He said; “I have come too far to give up. I am not built that way. “The feeling we have had is we were getting where we wanted to be but in the last few weeks results haven’t come and we have hit a brick wall. We have conceded too many easy goals and that is a concern.”
