Five defeats have come in United’s last seven games, a run which has seen them exit the FA Cup and Champions League and left a top-four finish in serious doubt.
After a spectacular start as caretaker manager of the club, in which he won his first eight games and lost just one of his opening 17 matches in charge, United have since suffered a precipitous drop in form.
United’s season ends with a visit to already-relegated Huddersfield and a home game against Cardiff — both of whom may have nothing to play for by the time the season reaches May. All three London clubs also have one eye on European semi-finals — with Spurs having reached the last four of the Champions League in spectacular fashion against City in midweek and Arsenal and Chelsea both advancing in the Europa League.
“These three games are our short-term focus and we shouldn’t think about anything other than having a great week ahead of us.” That, naturally, led to debate as to whether United had been too quick in appointing Solskjaer, whose players certainly appear to have been less focused since his elevation was confirmed last month.
