Man Utd: Solskjaer says it is his ‘worst day ever’ after Spurs loss
Manchester United can only improve on the pitch if they replace manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, according to former Manchester City and England right-back Danny Mills. Solskjaer has come under pressure since Sunday's 6-1 demolition by Tottenham at Old Trafford. United have lost their opening two Premier League matches of the season at home.
Mills thinks the buck stops with Solskjaer and says sacking the Norwegian is what executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward needs to do.
Mills said on talkSPORT: "What can Manchester United do right now to change what they're doing on the pitch? The only thing you can do is change the manager.
"Let's say Leeds lose their manager right now, [Marcelo] Bielsa goes, he's had enough, he walks out.
"Okay, who do I want to replace him? You start looking at the names and you go: '[Jose] Mourinho, yes, Pep [Guardiola] yes, [Jurgen] Klopp, yes, [Carlo] Ancelotti, yep, Brendan Rodgers, yep, David Moyes, probably, Frank Lampard, yes, [Mikel] Arteta, yes'.

"And then you start to think about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - not convinced.
"He's half way down the list at least and that's without the likes of [Mauricio] Pochettino coming into the mix, people who are out of a job right now.

“But that performance, that's a sackable performance. That's worrying for what we saw from Manchester United.
"He will go at some stage, I can't see how that's going to be turned around, but whoever comes in next, they’re going to have the same problems.
“Jose left with similar problems. I don’t think the club itself is supporting the manager at all."
