Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed he spoke to Sir Alex Ferguson this week after their thrashing by Liverpool.
Solskjaer was asked if he had spoken to Ferguson and whether he believed he could emerge from the current predicament and be successful as his old boss.
"Yes, on both accounts. We had a commercial day, and Sir Alex came to do some commercial stuff," he said.
"I met him and spoke to him, just for a brief moment. I've been through some very bad moments here as a player and when I've been a coach and a manager as well.
"I've had to deal with setbacks, there's probably been two or three crises at least since I became the manager here. One thing I can say is that I'll always give it a good shot and fight back."
Solskjaer was also asked about the mental state of his players after their performance against Liverpool.
"We need a reaction. It's my job to put the players in the right frame of mind.
I'm responsible for the reaction, the response, the performance, and we've worked on the pitch on everything that needs to be sorted.
"I feel that the players are ready to give their best, as they always do.
"Nothing went to plan [against Liverpool] and that was nowhere near our best."
