Former Man Utd striker Alan Brazil predicts exactly when Norwegian coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be sacked. Among the top picks for Solskjaer's replacement is the former Tottenham Hotspur coach Mauricio Pochettino. Even before Pochettino was still the coach of the Spurs, rumors were claiming that the Argentine coach will move to Manchester United.

Former Red Devils striker Alan Brazil says that Manchester United will sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer by the end of the season. United is currently at the ninth place in the Premier League table after the recent draw with Sheffield United and nine points tailing behind the league's top four. According to the football pundit, the club needs a big name to take over and suggests Mauricio Pochettino would be the right man to fill in Ole's post.

Over the past weeks, Manchester United have said that it will stand by the Norwegian coach. But, it is worth noting that the Red Devils have the habit of saying this and eventually sacking the managers. In 2014, United denied the reports about sacking David Moyes only to announced the exile of the scot coach later.

The same happened when United said there is no truth on claims that Jose Mourinho will replace Louis van Gaal only to end up hiring The Special One later. The club also insisted that Jose Mourinho's job was safe just days before he got kicked out of the Old Trafford. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently shares that he was encouraged by the club's recent match with Sheffield United considering the way the Red Devils recovered from 2-0.

However, the rest of the scenarios at Bramall Lane was awful to watch. Manchester United was starting to gain momentum before the international break. However, it was back to being dull, uninspiring, and boring last weekend. With Mauricio Pochettino now available, many fans want Pochettino to start leading the club now.

Like Ed Woodward, fans believe that Pochettino is the right man to stir Manchester United back on its track. The succeeding games will be crucial to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's career at Manchester United. Should Ole come through unscathed, the calls for his exile may weaken and eventually die down.


Manchester United is scheduled to face Astana on Thursday. Then they will go up against Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Manchester City in the Premier League. If the Red Devils lose to Aston Villa, it will have damning consequences.
