Man Utd legend Phil Neville explains what he’s heard about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sacking

“They played poorly in the first 30 minutes, they got punished in a group which was really really difficult and they’re out of the competition. They’re now in the Europa League, they’ve got to go out and win that.

“The narrative from inside the club is far, far different to that outside the club, where it seems there’s a total witch-hunt to get this boy out of the job.”

Solskjaer, speaking afterwards, expressed a belief United were too slow out of the blocks.

Leipzig went 2-0 up early on and the Red Devils only managed late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba when the game was already beyond them.

“We started too late. Great spirit and comeback again but different to the Premier League. You can’t give a team a three-goal lead and expect to come back,” he said.
