What if OGS's cat, at least as cuddly as DD's, had let him go for good?

Often on a wire and always comforted by the right result at the right time since his appointment in December 2018, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could well not resist the humiliation suffered against Liverpool in the Premier League (5-0), even if the Manchester United manager has rejected any idea of ​​resignation after "the darkest day" he has known as head of the Red Devils.

"We hit rock bottom but I know the players have character"

"I have come too far, we have come too far together as a group to give up now", commented after the match on Sky Sports the Norwegian, questioned to know if this result made him doubt as to his capacity to always be there man for the job. "It is not easy to find the words, except that it is the darkest day that I have known at the head of these players," said Solskjaer, visibly marked by this defeat against a historic rival , who led 4-0 at Old Trafford at the break, unheard of.

“We can look at the past seasons where we had big defeats, we lost (here) 6-1 against Tottenham (last year). There, it was worse and facing this opponent, that makes it infinitely worse as a man from Manchester, ”he continued. There was a class of difference between Manchester and the Reds in this match which relegates United to 7th place, eight lengths behind leaders Chelsea and seven behind runners-up Liverpool, after nine days in the Premier League.

“We weren't up to the task individually and as a team.

We can't give a team like Liverpool so many chances, but unfortunately that's what we did, ”Solskajer analyzed.

“We'll have to get over that as quickly as possible and keep moving forward (…) the players will be depressed, but I know they have character.

We have hit rock bottom, ”he concluded.

We wouldn't bet our shirt on his being on the bench next weekend, would you?
