Woodward confirms Man Utd 'absolutely committed' to Solskjaer amid Pochettino links

Manchester United chief Ed Woodward insists the club are 'absolutely committed' to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Norwegian manager has come under fire after United's inconsistent start to the Premier League season.

Reports have stated Mauricio Pochettino has been contacted about replacing Solskjaer, but Woodward has refuted those claims.

In a statement released alongside the club's first-quarter financial results he said: "On the pitch, while there is still hard work ahead to achieve greater consistency, we remain absolutely committed to the positive path we are on under Ole as the team continues to develop.

"We miss playing in front of our fans and we are working hard together with our governing bodies and relevant authorities to ensure that fans can safely return as soon as possible."
