Manchester United still believes in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer even though the team had just been humiliated by Leicester City 2-4 in the 2021-2022 Premier League match on Saturday 16 October 2021. Because according to the latest report, Solskjaer was actually given large funds to spend on players in the upcoming transfer window. .
As reported by The Sport Review, Monday (10/18/2021), the Red Devils – the nickname of Manchester United – are ready to pour big funds for the Norwegian architect to spend in January. This is to achieve its goal, which is to become the champion of the 2021-2022 Premier League.
The same thing was also reported by The Sun, where the British media said the support was given because the Red Devils had to win the top position at the end of the season.
The news is of course very surprising in the midst of a series of bad results for Solskjaer. Remember, he only managed to win once and draw one of his last five matches.
Even so, the injection of funds should be able to slightly repair the damage to the squad belonging to the coach and former Red Devils player. Especially, the midfield sector and the door of defense which are often the culprits.
Previously, the Old Trafford hierarchy had also done the same thing ahead of the new 2021-2022 season. They have given an injection of funds of 117.9 million pounds to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho.
Of course, if it does happen, it’s interesting what steps Solskjaer has taken with the injection of funds. Bearing in mind, the burden to be carried will be even heavier in the future if it still fails to achieve a positive trend even though it is filled with star players.
Given, they are currently sitting in sixth place in the 2021-2022 Premier League standings, with 14 points. They are only five points adrift of the leaders, Chelsea.
The financial support also ensures that Man United is still very supportive of Solskjaer to train Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends.
