Manchester United hierarchy giving manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer full backing with four January signings planned

Manchester United hierarchy are giving manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer their full backing with four January signings planned, according to The Times. 

The Red Devils have made a simply disastrous start to the season, losing three games and sitting just two points above the relegation zone.

Solskjaer has come under intense scrutiny, with rumours suggesting the Norwegian could be sacked if United fail to get a result in their next match against arch rivals Liverpool.

However, injuries have been against the Old Trafford side, with key attacker Anthony Martial out for weeks, meaning the club have had to rely on 17-year-old Mason Greenwood.

Manchester United allowed Alexis Sanchez to leave for Inter Milan on loan.

United allowed experienced strikers Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez to leave the club in the summer, leaving them desperately short in attacking areas.

Despite their poor start, The Times report that the United hierarchy are sticking with their manager and will back him with four new signings in the January window.

Solskjaer has been very vocal about changing the DNA of the club and spent money on young, English talent this summer and if he gets the chance, will be expected to do the same again in January.
