Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is beginning to lose faith in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, according to various reports.
The Daily Mirror claim that Woodward is having doubts about whether the Norwegian is the right man for the job at Old Trafford.
And the Daily Mail write that Solskjaer is starting to fear for his future after United’s miserable start to the season continued with a 1-0 defeat by Newcastle on Sunday.
That result at St James’ Park means United have collected just nine points from the first eight matches of 2019/20.
Solskjaer’s side are only two points above the relegation zone heading into the October international break, compared to five adrift of the top four and a mammoth 15 short of Premier League leaders Liverpool.
And Solskjaer believes he could be dismissed if his side are comfortably beaten by table-topping Liverpool in 12 days’ time.
Meanwhile, several senior players in the dressing room have started to question Solskjaer’s methods and tactics.
There was also unrest among the squad after their manager publicly stated that his players “needed to sort their heads out” following Sunday’s loss to Newcastle.
