Manchester United's awful defeat at Leicester City on Saturday has ramped up the pressure on manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who sees his team sixth in the Premier League after a summer of heavy investment in the first team squad.
United's form either side of the international break has been poor. Meanwhile, a theme of disjointed, uncontrolled and loose performances has been present since the very beginning of the season - even showing up in games Solskjaer's side have won - and speculation is inevitably mounting over the Norwegian's position at the Old Trafford helm.
Two out of work managers are the names most associated with replacing Solskjaer were a change to be made, with noise across Europe increasing. Zinedine Zidane has taken a break from the game after two trophy-laden spells in charge of Real Madrid, while former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is the other top name in the frame after leaving Inter last season - albeit after winning Serie A.
90min understands United's hierarchy made it clear over the summer that Solskjaer would be backed, and their belief that he is the right man remains at present.
Some in the club's top brass have always been uncertain that Solskjaer was the right man, but following talks in the summer they came together to put up a 'United front' over their manager. As it stands they remain adamant that they are not contemplating a change.
