This was the moment when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s credit at Manchester United finally ran out; so, the only question is how much longer can it be before the Bank of Old Trafford pulls the plug on his account?

The likeable, affable Norwegian was never going to be a short-term appointment – he knew he had far too much currency with the Stretford End to be sacked early, not just from the contribution he made to the club’s glory days as a player but for his clear understanding of the United way and what it should mean to pull on the shirt.
