Liverpool's record 5-0 win at Man Utd: Solskjaer at 'rock bottom'
Teddy Sheringham wants to see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer given more time to turn things around at Manchester United, but largely because of the backing he's received from the Glazers in the transfer market. United's 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool last weekend appeared to be the end for Solskjaer with fans calling for a change of manager.

Close to £400million has been spent on new signings under Solskjaer with Donny van de Beek still yet to break into the first team on a regular basis.
Question marks have been raised on the signings made under Solskjaer, but Sheringham believes the Glazers must stick with Solskjaer to get the most out of their huge investment over the past few years.
“You’ve still got to give him time," he told The Sun.
“You can think, ‘5-0, oh s***! What the hell is going on?’.
