Man Utd hero Ince calls for Solskjaer, Woodward to go

Paul Ince says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer isn't up to the manager's job at Manchester United.

Ince also insists vice-chairman Ed Woodward needs to be removed from football operations at the club.

He told BT Sport: “I don't think the ownership is going to change, the Glazers, I think they're here for quite a while.

“I think Ed Woodward needs to change, he's done ever so well for United from a commercial point of view, bringing money into the club, merchandise, that kind of stuff.

“But when you talk about bringing in quality players, players that are going to take this club forward, we've seen the players he's brought in.

“Rojo, Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin, people like that. These aren't players [that make a difference].

“He needs to take a back seat. We talk about Michael Edwards at Liverpool who is their football director.

“Most of the clubs in the league have one. It's the way European clubs have always been.

“For some reason at Man Utd we've decided we don't need one.

“I said at the start and I'll say it again, too many people got sucked into the fact he had such a good start when they won 14 out of 19 games that he was the man for the job.

“He was an interim manager. They had plenty of time to wait until the end of the season, do their research, see who was out there, but they all got sucked into it."
