Manchester United's stunning 1-2 defeat at the hands of Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir in the UEFA Champions League has further upped the pressure on manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. Amazingly; United have lost three of their opening four home league matches; a quite disastrous record for a great side famed for their home record; with the side now languishing in a lowly 15th place. Even though their opening two Champions League games had been a welcome surprise; with impressive victories over last season's finalists & semi-finalists Paris Saint-Germain & RB Leipzig 2-1 & 5-0 respectively; the latest loss to a rather-unheralded side has brought further pressure on the beleaguered manager. With goalkeeping question-marks; a defence still riddled with uncertainty and a 'Roy Keane-sized' leadership voids all over the place; the future looks increasingly uncertain for this great club. Will the final nail in the coffin come with this Saturday's impending showdown with former league leaders Everton?
