OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER BRANDED HIS MANCHESTER UNITED FLOPS A ‘JOKE ’ IN A FURIOUS DRESSING-ROOM RANT.

It has been revealed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer unleashed on his Manchester United squad after the Southampton game


Ole Gunnar Solskjaer branded his Manchester United flops a ‘joke’ in a furious dressing-room rant.

The under-pressure boss lost it after a 1-1 draw at ten-man Southampton.

He told the players their performance was a ‘joke’ and it was ‘embarrassing’ how they were failing to finish teams off.

He also accused them of playing for themselves — and trying the spectacular rather than sticking to the basics.

While Solskjaer refused to name names in front of the squad, he said there are individuals who need to put more effort in and are letting down their teammates.

Solskjaer is particularly frustrated that his players are failing to implement what they work on all week in training.

He warned them that when they return from international duty they face unbeaten Leicester — and if they do not sort things out quickly they will be in serious trouble.

United are already seven points behind leaders Liverpool and languish in eighth place.

They led Southampton through Dan James’ goal after just ten minutes but Saints equalised thanks to Jannik Vestergaard.

The Red Devils then played against ten men after Kevin Danso was sent off in the 73rd minute — but still could not find a winner.
The United players have come under fire from critics

United have won one, drawn two and lost one game this season, their worst start since 1992.

And they have won just two of their last 11 league games.

Fans are furious at the state of affairs and the club’s own TV station is having to vet callers after one swore on air as he called for owners the Glazers to leave.

Supporters are also angry that, while they have let Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez leave, they have not brought in an attacking replacement.

Striker Marcus Rashford has not scored since bagging a double in the 4-0 win over Chelsea on the first weekend of the Premier League season.
