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.

The Norwegian vowed not to quit but admitted yesterday was his “darkest day” as United boss after total humiliation by Jurgen Klopp’s side.
