Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reportedly faces a fight to lift his squad for Wednesday night’s Champions League clash with Atalanta following events over the weekend.
Morale is said to have taken a big hit, with the dressing room described as ‘flat’ following Saturday’s woeful 4-2 loss at Leicester, as reported by ESPN sources. The result means the Red Devils have won just two of their last seven games in all competitions.
ESPN adds that manner of the defeat has ’caused concern within the group’, with Solskjaer admitting afterwards that David de Gea had been United’s best performer despite leaking four goals.
The United boss’ position is not thought to be under threat. However, there are alarm bells going off after recent results.
