Gabriel Agbonlahor has urged the Manchester United to sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and replace him with Antonio Conte after their 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa on Saturday.
The Red devils succumbed to their first Premier League defeat of the campaign against Aston Villa, in a game where Bruno Fernandes missed a spot-kick that would’ve seen the United salvage a point.
Some fans were left surprised as to why Fernandes was even given the chance to take the penalty with Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch when it was taken.

Agbonlahor believes that Solskjaer is out of his depth and United should replace him with Conte, who has previously won the Premier League at Chelsea and the Serie A title with Inter Milan last campaign.
‘I just don’t think Ole’s the man, if that was [Antonio] Conte he’d be like okay Ronaldo is on the penalty, you haven’t got a if you don’t like it Fernandes come and sit with me, Ole doesn’t have that pull,’ he told TalkSPORT.
‘If I was Manchester United now, Chelsea did it with Lampard, got rid of a club legend and brought in Tuchel and look what happened. Man United need to now take Ole out of it, give him a job in the board, bring in Conte and he will get the best out of these players.
‘Even the decision during the games, Maguire was limping for 10 minutes before he brought him off.
‘You need a goal In the last 10 minutes and you bring on Cavani who hasn’t played any minutes this season, you’ve got Lingard there who scored a late winner against West Ham, you’ve got Sancho which you’ve brought for £70m sitting on the bench.
‘I just think some of his decision have been miles off it, I think United have to bit the bullet and get rid of him, bring in Conte who’s out there, Zidane is out there in order to get better out of these players.’
United will now hope to bounce back from the defeat when they play Villarreal in the Champions League on Wednesday, before their next Premier League game against Everton on Saturday.
