Gary Neville admits pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is 'intolerable'

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has admitted the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hitting 'intolerable' levels in some corners, but expects the club to stick by their manager in the wake of their dismal 5-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.

The Red Devils were all at sea during the fixture at Old Trafford, with Mohamed Salah running riot with a hat trick while Naby Keita and Diogo Jota also got on the scoresheet.

Solskjaer has had his critics ever since he became United's permanent manager but this latest defeat, with the squad he has at his disposal and against their most bitter rivals, has hit hard.

Neville said on Sky Sports: "The pressure after this game is going to be intolerable in some quarters.

"The board have made everyone aware that they are steadfast in their support of the manager and that he stays. Results like this undermine that, there's no doubt. This is sobering.
