Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is safe as Manchester United manager — even if they miss out on Champions League or Europa League.
The board at the club are committed to backing the head coach in this transfer window and even in the summer.
Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward and the owning Glazer family will not waver from their plan to rebuild the club based on youth, with Solskjaer in charge.
Woodward has come under fire from the Red devils legend Gary Neville, who said he should be sacked for the club’s failings in recent times.
It has been claimed former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is waiting for a call from United to take over from Solskjaer. One agent has even checked with Poch what his requirements would be to join the club.
However, United are not considering him at the moment having invested so much trust in their current coach Solskjaer.
They accept it could take another two years to come to fruition but are determined to be patient, even if it means ending this campaign potless and outside the top six.
Gary Neville was scathing of Ed Woodward and the board. He said: “I can’t believe the investment that’s been put into the squad in the last five, six, seven years and you end up with that on the pitch.
“I saw a statistic two weeks ago that United have the second-highest wage bill in the world. It’s unforgivable, it really is.
“They have made some terrible investments in terms of recruitment. It’s all coming home to roost.
“This is going to get bad. The next six months are going to be really difficult.
