Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes that Manchester United should stick with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for now.

A draw with Liverpool and two successive wins have given Solskjaer some breathing room at United.

But pundits know that a few poor results will result in talk of his sacking, given the club's poor league position.

Carragher, a Sky Sports pundit, thinks sacking Solskjaer now is not ideal for United.

"I don't think Manchester United should be thinking about changing their manager any time this season," he told Sky Sports.

"I think they've got a big decision to make about whether he should be the manager for the start of next season.

"No one starts the season thinking they're going to change the manager, it's too much upheaval. Who do you bring in? You've bought players.

"So the best time to change your manager is at the end of the season, or towards the end and give the next manager a full pre-season.

"So United need to ask if they want Ole for this season and the whole of next season. If they do, that's fine. But what they don't want to do is, next season, in September or October, if they make a bad start, then think: 'What do we do?'

"If you think you would get rid of a manager if they started next season badly, change it before. No problem this season, but, maybe, when the summer comes, would you go with Ole again?

"But if he has a good season, finishes strongly, does well in the cups, of course, keep him in there."
