Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the outright favourite to be sacked in the English Premier League (EPL).

Moves against Solskjaer come after word leaked to the UK media that former Tottenham Hotspurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has been approached by at least one major European club. United bosses will loathe the idea of missing out on a major managerial target, but at the same time will be wary of sacking Solskjaer this early in the season.

Solskjaer’s team face a crucial test against Everton this weekend at Goodison Park, following an embarrassing 2-1 loss to Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League.

Manchester United have struggled for any shape of consistency in the restart to the season and currently languish in 15th spot on the EPL ladder. United have won only two of their last six matches across all competitions. Their defeat against Basaksehir comes on the back of a 1-0 loss to league rivals Arsenal at Old Trafford.
