Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident his job is safe, though it's claimed his position is being discussed inside Manchester United.
The Guardian says Solskjaer expects to be in charge of United for the next match at Watford after the international break, with the club as of Sunday not changing its position despite the 2-0 loss to Manchester City.
The defeat at Old Trafford against the Premier League champions on Saturday followed the 5-0 rout by Liverpool in the previous home match. Yet the Guardian understands there was no indication from Joel Glazer, the co-chairman who runs the club, in the hours immediately after the match that the Norwegian would be removed.
After City's win, Solskjaer said United had to react like a “wounded animal" at Watford on 20 November.
The 48-year-old is working on the basis that he will remain in his post to take the side to Vicarage Road but there is a sense that Glazer could yet decide to remove him in the coming days.
