Manchester United will have to turn things around for manager, Ole Gunner Solkjaer as they head to Goodison Park today to play against Everton.
Although Everton has lost their last two gamed that took them off the summit, United will have to raise the bar to defeat Everton that has been solid at home under Carlo Ancelotti. The closes they come to losing their home game this term was against fellow Merseysiders, Liverpool.
So, it will take a special performance from United that has lost four games in 11 outings this season. A loss for the Red Devil will leave them on the 17th. Such a result could make the club hierarchy change their mind and bring in Mauricio Pochettino that was reportedly talking to about the prospect of taking the job.
Manchester United is also going into the clash on the back of a bad week. After failing to hit the target against Arsenal last week, they suffered a further loss in the Champions League defeat in Turkey on Wednesday.
Solskjaer will need a good result for this game in order to keep his job as reported.
