Are we witnessing the final days of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United? The Red Devils have been dire in recent weeks and needed a penalty shoot to defeat League 1 side Rochdale to progress in the EFL Cup. With United currently residing in 11th place in the Premier League, with only two wins from six games, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that Solsjar could be relieved of his duties following a heavy defeat.
Last time out in the league, United were comprehensively defeated by West Ham 2-0 which was made even worse by the fact that first-choice striker Marcus Rashford limped off injured early on. Still, despite the current malaise, United are on a three-game winning streak at home in all competitions, which could serve as some comfort for the fans.
Daniel James has been one of the standout performers in a side that has been devoid of quality so far this season. Three goals in six Premier League starts for the 21-year-old Welsh winger, highlights his threat for United. James will certainly fancy his chances against an Arsenal backline that is prone to making high profile mistakes this season.
