Solskjaer worried about long-term future at Man Utd

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is worried about his long-term future at Manchester United.

Solskjaer took training at Carrington on Tuesday for the first time since United's 5-0 thrashing by Liverpool.

The Daily Mail says Solskjaer is preparing the team for Saturday's trip to Tottenham amid a backdrop of intense scrutiny and some members of his squad questioning whether the slide can be halted under his management.

United — who gave Solskjaer a new three-year contract over the summer — were planning to review the 48-year-old's position in December.

The galling surrender at Old Trafford last weekend has, however, accelerated that process. Board-level talks between co-chairman Joel Glazer, Ed Woodward and managing director Richard Arnold took place on Monday.

Glazer, based in Florida, has been watching developments with interest but senior United sources were adamant last night that no approaches for potential successors had been made.
