How football changes. After enjoying a barn-storming start to his managerial reign at Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has well and truly hit a rough patch.
The Red Devils have endured a difficult opening to the current campaign, and appear to have particular trouble in picking up wins away from home. Last time out in the Premier League, United were handed a 2-0 defeat by West Ham.
Now, a rather alarming stat has come to light surrounding the side’s results in away games under Solskjaer. In the Norwegian’s first nine fixtures away from Old Trafford, the Red Devils rattled off nine victories, scoring 23 goals in the process.
In contrast, United’s last nine games has seen them go winless, with just five goals scored and a staggering 18 conceded – essentially, two a game.
After hearing about the side’s worrying turn of fortune, United fans flooded to Twitter to voice their concerns about the situation.
Many supporters of the Manchester side seemed to think it is the final straw with Solskjaer, with one fan in particular urging the club to sack him in light of the record.
Some fans just revealed their shock at seeing the numbers laid bare, and wondered how on earth it happened.
