Solskjaer backed to stay in Man Utd job as he 'understands what the club needs'

Wes Brown has backed the Norwegian to continue in the managerial hot-seat despite the team's inconsistency this season

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the right man to turn fortunes around at Manchester United, but the players have to be 100 per cent committed, says Wes Brown.

The Red Devils have suffered their worst start to a top-flight season in 33 years, having lost eight of their opening 24 fixtures, and are now in danger of missing out on Champions League qualification.

Solskjaer watched his side lose 2-0 to runaway leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, before overseeing another defeat by the same scoreline against Burnley at Old Trafford three days later.
