Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer has been sacked
as Manchester United manager following the
club's dreadful recent run of results, which
culminated in the 4-1 defeat at Watford
on Saturday.
However, the Red Devils' woeful form
has not been the only reason for the Norwegian
to be relieved of his duties.
According to the Telegraph, an enormous
split had developed between the Manchester
United players and Solskjaer, which by
the end of his spell turned out to be decisive
in his sacking.
An increasingly complicated situation
The English newspaper went on to reveal
that the doubts held by the players over the
coach have been in play since 2019.
Questions over lack of a definitive playing
style and a clear identity plagued Solskjaer's
spell right up until his sacking.
In fact, Manchester United had planned to
part ways with Solsjkaer at the end of his first
season following consecutive defeats
to Everton and Manchester City, but no decision
was made.
Although his side were much improved
last season, with 21 victories and 74 points,
they were still some way off of challenging
for the Premier League title.
The players began to lose confidence
This season, after their bright start had
faded dramatically, Solsjkaer held crisis
talks with Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Maguire,
Bruno Fernandes, Nemanja Matic, Luke
Shaw and Victor Lindelof, but by that point
many of them had lost faith in their coach.
The tension had been building for a number
of weeks up to that point. According to the
Telegraph, during the club's 3-2 victory over
Atalanta in the Champions League group
stage, Solsjkaer was openly challenged
by a number of his players in an intense
verbal exchange.
It was a key indication that his relationship
with his players was on a tightrope, if not
yet completely broken.
Open fronts
This season, a number of first-team players
have challenged Solskjaer's authority, which
has seen it dramatically undermined.
According to the Telegraph, Eric Bailly
questioned why Harry Maguire was starting
ahead of him, arguing that the Englishman
was not fully fit.
Other players, such as Jesse Lingard,
Alex Telles and Nemanja Matic have also
been extremely unhappy with their treatment
by the coach this season.
Until the end of the season... Or not
According to the Telegraph, Manchester
United's hierarchy maintained their faith
with Solsjkaer until the humiliating 5-0 home
defeat to Liverpool at the end of October.
Nevertheless, the club decided at that
point to stick with the coach until the end
of the season, but this has not been the case,
as the results have not improved.
A goodbye that leaves a bitter taste
As Manchester United announced that
Solsjkaer had been sacked, the club expressed
their gratitude for the job he has done since
taking over in 2018.
"Manchester United announce that Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer has left his role as manager,
" read the club announcement.
"Ole will always be a legend at Manchester
United and it is with regret that we have
reached this difficult decision.
"While the past few weeks have been
disappointing, they should not obscure all
the work he has done over the past three
years to rebuild the foundations for long-term
success."
Solsjkaer leaves his post having been
unable to secure a trophy during his time
in the Old Trafford dugout.
