Manchester United’s owners, the Glazer family, have personally assured Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that he will not be sacked, according to reports.

Before the start of last week, Solskjaer was under huge pressure with United on a run of three games without a victory.

But Solskjaer guided United to back-to-back wins over Tottenham and Manchester City to put his side back on course to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Speculation has continued to mount over Solskjaer’s future at Old Trafford, especially as Mauricio Pochettino is now available after he was sacked by Tottenham last month.

But according to MailOnline, Joel Glazer has personally spoken to Solskjaer and has given his full backing to the United manager.

The report claims that the Glazers are fully aware that Solskjaer needs to be given time to rebuild his United side.

And United’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is ready to support Solskjaer by allocating more funds for new signings ahead of the January transfer window.

United’s 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the derby on Saturday evening has put Solskjaer’s side fifth in the Premier League and five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, who were beaten by Everton earlier that day.

Solskjaer is also understood to have masterminded United’s victory over City by telling his players to target their left flank.
