Massive week for Nuno and Solskjaer as their futures come under scrutiny

United went down to one of their worst results of the Premier League era as they were thrashed 5-0 at home by rivals Liverpool, leaving Solskjaer fighting for his job.

Nuno’s position was also weakened as Spurs lost a fourth London derby of the season to West Ham, going down to Michail Antonio’s goal at the London Stadium.

Neither manager was this morning thought to be under any immediate threat of the sack, but Solskjaer in particular can scarcely afford another defeat when Spurs host United next Saturday.

The Norwegian vowed not to quit but admitted yesterday was his “darkest day” as United boss after total humiliation by Jurgen Klopp’s side. A Mohamed Salah hat-trick and goals from Naby Keita and Diego Jota completed Liverpool’s rout, while United substitute Paul Pogba was sent off for a lunge on Keita.
