Manchester United have endured the worst start to a Premier League campaign in 30 years (at the seven game mark). With just 2 wins so far, Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s team is sitting in 12th – closer to the relegation zone than the top 6, and a long way from where they thought the new manager could take them after his impressive stint as interim manager got rewarded with the permanent position back in March.
As this infographic shows, there was legitimate cause for optimism back then. From his 19 games in all competitions, Ole brought in an impressive 14 wins – a drastic change from the miserable performances fans saw during the final days of Mourinho. While he started his reign as permanent manager with a 2-1 win over Watford in the league, the victories have been few and far between since then. In total, the Norwegian and his team have only won six games from the 21 played, drawing six, and losing nine. No wonder then, that in the fickle and impatient world of football management, Solskjær is one of the bookies’ favourites to be sacked next in the Premier League.
