‘Like a holiday camp’ – Solskjaer is ‘too nice’ and Man Utd stars ‘get away with things’, slams Jamie Redknapp
MANCHESTER UNITED is ‘like a holiday camp’ and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is ‘too nice’.
That is according to Sky pundit Jamie Redknapp who reckons the Norwegian has to go if United lose their next two games.

Solskjaer is under enormous pressure with his future hanging in the balance after a string of humiliating defeats.
They were walloped 5-0 at home by Redknapp’s old team Liverpool last time out and the 48-year-old says United’s players have it too easy.
He told Sky: “I’ve been in dressing rooms before when things aren’t working for the manager and that’s what it looks like to me.
“It looks like that dressing room, in the kindest way, it feels like it would be a bit of a holiday camp.
“I can’t imagine Solskjaer is going in there pointing his finger telling players what they’ve got to do.
“Everything just seems too nice. Players are getting away with things and that’s a recipe for disaster in football.

“They’ve bought themselves a bit of time but if they lose against Tottenham and then lose a couple more games, I’m sorry, but he can’t stay.
“It’s difficult because it’s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, of course he’s a well-respected figure at the club.
“I said two years ago, it’s going to be like shooting Bambi.
“But you have to sometimes look at what’s best for the team. Even he will look at it and go, ‘I can’t keep my job under these circumstances’.”
Former United defender Mikael Sylvestre heaped pressure on his old team-mate this week and said Solskjaer has to win a trophy this season if he keeps his job.
