Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reportedly has the full backing of Man United despite the club's recent poor run of results.

While United did mark the start of the campaign impressively, their form HSS deteriorated significantly in recent weeks, managing just two wins in their last seven matches across competitions.

But despite the worrying run of performances, The Athletic reports Solskjaer still maintains 100% backing of United chiefs and he is not in danger of being sent packing.

The development comes at a time the Red Devils are scheduled for unfavourable fixtures in the coming days including matches against rivals Liverpool and Man City.

Reacting to his side's defeat to Leicester, Solskjaer appeared to take responsibility for the loss but was also quick to admit his wards were poor.

"When you look at the game after, the four goals we conceded were poor. The way we played we don’t deserve to continue that run," he said.
