Unai Emery urges Manchester United to keep faith with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as pressure mounts on the Norwegian to deliver silverware with Villarreal boss all-too-familiar with Premier League ruthlessness after getting the chop at Arsenal

Villarreal boss Unai Emery has urged Manchester United to show patience with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer despite the club's early-season blip.

Emery, who faces Solskjaer in the Champions League at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, knows just how ruthless the Premier League can be after he was sacked by Arsenal in 2019 following just 18 months in charge at the Emirates.

Solskjaer is under pressure at United after losing three of his last four games including the Group F opener to Young Boys in Switzerland.
