I don't think any football fan or any Manchester United fan for that matter would be surprised to see Solskjaer on this list. After impressing in his first nine games last season, things have gone wrong for Solskjaer.

United started this season with an impressive 4-0 hammering of Chelsea in the opening game, and things looked positive for them at that point. But the games that followed proved that nothing has changed. A draw against Wolves, a draw against a 10-man Southampton and a shocking 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace at home suggest something is wrong at the club.

Maybe Solskjaer just needs more time to implement his tactics and ideologies. But honestly, after a managing the team for half of last season and going through an entire pre-season as well, one would expect results.

The season is long, and we are just getting started; things could turn around too. But if Manchester United continue to struggle even against the smaller clubs, moving on from Solskjaer will probably be for the best.
