While Brendan Rodgers takes Leicester City to new heights Solskaer’s Manchester United are hitting new lows.They have now achieved their worst start in 30 years.
After managing a 1-1 draw against Arsenal yesterday United have a tally of nine points from their opening seven fixtures.
This is the first time since the 1989-90 season they have not reached double figures at this stage of the competition.
Roy Keane on the situation….
(Solskjær should )“100%” be given more time. I think he has been brilliant, a good honest guy.It is hard work at the moment but there are six or seven young players learning their way. We’re all very impatient, we want success yesterday, but you have to give the man time. He is frustrated, under pressure, but dealing with it. He’s a classy guy but no doubt he will be disappointed at not winning enough games.They have given him the job, so support him in a couple of transfer windows. Are there more tough days ahead? You bet your life but you need to stick with it. There was a lack of quality from both teams tonight. Their lack of goals, the lack of opportunities they’re creating. Give these boys time. But on tonight’s performance, none of them [neither Manchester United nor Arsenal] will be in the top four.”
More grim highlights ..
