Solskjaer is under pressure at United with the club on course to record their lowest points tally in Premier League history.

He has been granted time by United owners the Glazers and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward but rumours over his future persist.

Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has been intensely linked with the United job and expressed his desire to manage in England again earlier this week.

“To be honest, I would love to work in the Premier League,” he said on In The Pink podcast.
