Cristiano Ronaldo is encouraging his Manchester United team-mates to stand by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer amid the ongoing speculation over the latter’s immediate future, according to reports. The Red Devils boss currently finds himself in hot water at Old Trafford following Sunday’s embarrassing home defeat at the hands of Liverpool.
United were torn apart on their own patch by their Merseyside rivals, with Naby Keita and Diogo Jota handing the Reds an early advantage before Mohamed Salah’s hat-trick condemned the hosts to their worst defeat in recent memory.
The result has piled the pressure on Solskjaer, who was already under fire before kick-off on Sunday, to deliver a rapid response in order to keep his job.
Former Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte has reportedly expressed an interest in taking over at United, who are said to have made contact with the Italian’s entourage on Monday and Tuesday.
However, Solskjaer is expected to remain in charge against Tottenham on Saturday afternoon, with club chiefs prepared to give the Norwegian boss a final opportunity to put things right.
A number of United players are believed to have lost faith in the 48-year-old since the beginning of the season, but it seems as though Ronaldo is looking to use his presence in the dressing room to unite the squad behind their current manager.
