Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is convinced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be fine at Manchester United.
Solskjaer's position at Old Trafford came under increased scrutiny after consecutive defeats blew United's huge chance to progress beyond the Champions League group stages.
Guardiola, whose Manchester City side go to Old Trafford on Saturday, believes Solskjaer has enough character to ride out the problems.
"When we win, we're geniuses and when we lose, we have to be sacked. It happens at United and all the clubs around the world," Guardiola said.
"We know it. That's why we get a big salary - for these situations. It's important to know the value of Solskjaer, he is there. I don't have to give him (personal) support because he is strong enough and knows this job.
"We have to go there thinking we're going to face the best version of them and talk about what we have to do."
Guardiola realises victory would act as a fillip to his squad, who lost there in March.
"The mood, the environment, is exceptional this season," Guardiola added. "With the situation and the lack of preparation… the players have responded very well so I have no complaints.
"It's not a knockout game. It's three more points, an important one because of the opponent's quality, but there are a lot of fixtures to come."
