Man Utd: Solskjaer's players may get him sacked claims Keane
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reportedly wants to give Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe a chance to prove themselves following Manchester United's dismal start to the season. The Red Devils have shipped 11 goals in three Premier League matches, sparking major concerns amongst the coaching staff.

The young defender has suffered a tough time with injuries in the past year but now he is looking to put it all behind him.
"I was always breaking down with an injury but I trust in the rehab team," Tuanzebe said.
"I’ve been working closely with John Davin and he’s helped me a lot so, this time, I want to get rock and rolling.
"It’s been several injuries. It’s been unfortunate with the times of the injury and pretty much all of them there was nothing I could have done about it. It’s good to be back, I’m grateful to be back to have a few games among the lads."
Maguire looks set to keep his place for the short-term future but if his form does not improve, Bailly and Tuanzebe look set to feature particularly with Lindelof also out of form.

Gareth Southgate jumped to the defence of Maguire last night after his Wembley horror show but pundit Steve Nicol believes he needs to play his way out of bad form for United.
“The easiest thing would be to drop him,” he said.
“But, the way United are right now, they actually need a somewhat decent Harry Maguire.
“When he signed for them he looked like a leader, he looked like a captain, and his play on the field was excellent.
“But ever since the shutdown and restart, there have been question marks over him.
“I don’t think Ole’s got a choice. I think if Ole drops him, that puts even more pressure on him."
