Ole on the brink of losing job
losing the way we did. We are in a very bad run and bad situation but that’s part of football.
“The results are not good enough, we know that.
“They’ll support the team and whoever is on the pitch, and sometimes you have to say sorry and that was a sorry for the performance.
“The whole afternoon was disappointing, so far away from our standards.
“That’s [losing his job] not for me to worry about – I work as hard and as well as I can with the staff I’ve got, top people, professional players but at the moment we’re not getting the results. I feel very low.”
United were also humiliated last month at home against rivals Liverpool at home in losing 5-0 and in their 2-0 defeat to Manchester City, while their hopes of reaching the Champions League knockout stages are in the balance.
And after the nightmare continued, keeper David de Gea – who saved two penalties and was the one United player to emerge with credit – pulled no punches in his assessment of the sorry showing.
He said: “It was embarrassing to see Man United play like we did.
“It’s not acceptable – the way we are playing and doing things.
“It was hard to watch the team playing – it was nightmare after nightmare.
“We are trying to give our best and fight for the team but for sure something is very wrong.
“You can see in the games – it’s very low level, very poor.
“Sorry to the fans, once again.
“This is not Manchester United or the way we ought to play – it’s difficult to say more than that.
“It’s been very bad for a long time – a club like Man United have to be fighting for trophies and fighting for big things, and to be honest we are far from that.”
