Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Title? You had me getting sacked!

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer snapped at his doubters after victory at West Ham.

Solskjaer has been warned that he should be axed if he fails to deliver silverware this season and had his position questioned in midweek when United suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss at Swiss side Young Boys.

"You're not going to get me on that one now," Solskjaer replied when asked about United's title prospects.

"It's five games into the season. I was probably down and out and lost my job yesterday. That's the way it is at Man United.

"We deserved three points. It's a hard place to come, here. Hopefully these points can make a difference. Let's see [about the title] when we get towards April and May."

He added: "We have to defend better. We have to make it harder to break us down.

"For their goal the structure was wrong for whatever reason and we'll have to work on it."
