Why Woodward is reluctant to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford

Manchester United have not have the best days this season and there are increase calls from various quarters calling for the sack of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as coach at Old Trafford.

A reports revealed that former Tottenham coach, Mauricio Pochettino is being tipped as favourite to replace Ole at Man Utd.

It looks like the Red Devils coach came under pressure after they were dumped from the Champions League by German side RB Leipzig.

However, Times UK report has claimed that Man Utd Vice Chairman, Ed Woodward is reluctant to sack Ole from the club.

Ed Woodward believes Manchester United are heading in the right direction with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in charge.

The report futher revealed that Woodward is reluctant to request that the club owners, Glazer family make another managerial change, which would be their fifth permanent appointment following Sir Alex Ferguson retirement in 2013.

However, there are indications that Woodward would have to make a decision on Saturday if Man Utd should lose to rivals, Man City in the Premier League.

The Red Devils will be hoping to win all three points against Man City or end the game in a draw, anything aside that could see Ole wave goodbye to his job at Old Trafford.
