Manchester United v Manchester City Match in Pictures
Manchester United are yet to talk to potential Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replacements amid a fear of leaks, according to reports. The Norwegian was backed extensively during the summer transfer window. But the Red Devils have toiled in the time since, losing six of their last 12 matches across all competitions.
Manchester United gave Solskjaer the signings of Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo back in the summer.
But the Red Devils have struggled to get the best from their star-studded squad in the time since, with the club falling down the Premier League table.
United have lost six of their last 12 matches, falling nine points behind Chelsea in the process.
They’ve also exited the Carabao Cup, having lost 1-0 to West Ham back in September.
And things could have been even worse for United had Ronaldo not dug them out of a hole in the Champions League so far.
At present, several names are being linked with a move to Old Trafford.

But talkSPORT’s Adrian Durham thinks he’s ‘too scared’ to go after Solskjaer, his former team-mate.
“He isn’t the problem,” he said.
“Roy Keane, why do you think he is going on about Maguire?
“Because he is too scared to call out his mate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. It’s pathetic.
“Roy Keane, what he is doing, is not constructive, it’s not technical, it’s not even football.
“It is ridiculous what he is doing, it is tantamount to bullying and I don’t think it is helpful or constructive to an individual like Harry Maguire, who has got a lot to deal with.
