Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp believes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's job is under threat at Manchester United.

Redknapp argued that if Villa can get rid of fan favourite Dean Smith for collecting just seven points fewer than United, then the Norwegian cannot be safe at Old Trafford.

“He's got to be under severe pressure," Redknapp told talkSPORT. “They've spent big, they've brought players in and he's had the backing of the board.

“Listen, if Dean Smith and people like that can lose their job then certainly Ole can. He's at a club there where they should be doing a lot better.

“Their performances have been poor and, I've never met him, but I like him – he looks like a lovely guy. Michael Carrick played for me who works alongside him, another great guy.

“I don't know how much longer he can go for, he's got to be under severe pressure."
