Failing to induce the revival of Manchester United which was expected of him when he was appointed, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is struggling behind the Mancunian wheels since his arrival.
The prestigious club now rests on the 5th position in the Premier League table, 5 points below Chelsea. In spite of securing a few wins occasionally, the manager constantly fails to display consistency, wherefore the club supporters is refusing to install faith in the Norwegian.
The United fans were gravely disappointed recently when their side looked so poor in the clash against Arsenal in which the Gunners secured a 2-0 victory. Moreover, the result came out after hopes were showered following the two decent wins the 46-year-old secured prior to the fixture at Emirates.
Bringing some disappointing facts to light, a United supporter has taken his time to amass a list of records the former Cardiff city boss has broken. Supplying additional pressure on the gaffer, none of them happens to be good record.
Taking a glimpse at the stats, the Old Trafford outfit have only won just 8 out of the 21 games they’ve played in Premier League this season, losing 6 and drawing the rest. Although a good share of matches are yet to be played, the form the club have exhibited this campaign might not be enough to even secure them a Champions League spot.

The Red Devils appointed the experienced coach as their permanent manager following the notable success he was reaping with the club soon after being designated as a caretaker manager. As the English side kept drowning under the management of Jose Mourinho, the Mancunian board gave the title to Solskjaer which he handled decently at the start.
But the current season under the Norwegian have been unsatisfactory with occasional surfacing of brutal remarks from supporters in Twitter.
Nevertheless, the English side will face Wolves in an FA Cup fixture next, followed by a game against their rivals Man City in the League Cup a couple of days later.
With Premier League hopes having deteriorated early on this season, the supporters are now keeping their fingers crossed in the hopes of claiming the mentioned cups.
