Under his watch, the team has the <strong>lowest points tally after 24 games since the disastrous 1988-1989 season<\/strong>. Nevertheless, sources indicate that Solskj\u00e6r has retained the confidence of Man United\u2019s board as well as its players.<\/p>\n<p>The Burnley loss was especially painful for Man United as a win could have elevated them to just three points out of the top four teams, securing their ascension to the Champions League spots. Spectacular plays by Burnley\u2019s <strong>Chris Wood<\/strong> and <strong>Jay Rodriguez<\/strong> put a stop to those dreams. <\/p>\n<h2>Rebuilding Will Proceed with Solskjaer<\/h2>\n<p>Solskj\u00e6r has attempted a long-term rebuilding process for the club, but the results have failed to inspire observers so far. Man United is 30 points behind Liverpool and, while the team\u2019s fans have expressed bitterness at the state of their team and the executives, they seem to indicated they will not be making any drastic changes soon. <\/p>\n<p>This is Solskj\u00e6r\u2019s 12th top-flight loss as team manager. The former forward was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/ole-gunnar-solskjaer-takes-manchester-uniteds-hot-seat-on-3-year-deal\/\">made full team manager in March 2019<\/a>, after replacing <strong>Jose Mourinho<\/strong> in December as a Interim Manager, and his record currently stands at <strong>19 wins, 15 losses, and 11 draws<\/strong> across all contests.<\/p>\n<p>Man United, under Solskj\u00e6r\u2019s leadership has dropped 18 points in the last 12 games; furthermore, the team has also accumulated 11 fewer points across 24 games than they did last season. Such statistics have worried fans and observers of the team, fearing that the club is headed down the wrong road.<\/p>\n<h2>Solskj\u00e6r Seeks New Players<\/h2>\n<p>Solskj\u00e6r took full responsibility for the team\u2019s recent struggles, admitting that they are planning to bolster their first team lineup with fresh talent to prevent their young players from burning out due to exhaustion.<\/p>\n<p>There are seven more days for Solskj\u00e6r in the January transfer window to seek out players to replace the team\u2019s sidelined players <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/marcusrashford\/\">Marcus Rashford<\/a><\/strong>, who has an injured back and <strong>Paul Pogba<\/strong>, who has an injured ankle that has forced him to miss 29 matches in this season. A new striker may also be needed, as the team has scored no goals in half of their last ten games. Reports state that the team has submitted a \u00a330 million bid for the young midfielder <strong>Jude Bellingham<\/strong>, from Birmingham. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United continues to be one of the biggest football clubs in the world with millions of fans all over the world.
