Former Manchester United player fired shots at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his entire coaching staff after the huge Liverpool defeat.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the entire Manchester United coaching staff was slammed by Paul Ince having witnessed a hefty defeat at the hands of Liverpool. 

As a consequence of this home loss to rivals in the Premier League, doubts regarding the Norwegian’s duties spread like wildfire. After just nine games, United fall eight-point behind league leaders Chelsea and have a poor defensive record on the table.

Bemused by how things are going with Solskjaer and his party, Ince spilt some harsh words. “You can’t have a manager who takes Cardiff down, then goes to Molde, and expect to come into the biggest club in the world and produce a team that’s going to challenge the best teams in the world with the staff that he’s got,” Ince has told The United Stand

“You’ve got an under-23 coach come up from the academy. He’s got Michael Carrick… no coaching experience. Micky Phelan…I don’t know what he does. That’s his team.

“This is his coaching staff. So you analyse that with the world-class players that you’ve got in the team and we keep mentioning tactics and not getting the best out of the players…

“Look at that staff. This is the staff that Ole says is ‘very good, brilliant…’ it’s a load of b*llocks because they are conceding goals for fun.”

Ince also raised a topic regarding the training sessions for the Man Utd players. He said: “Are they doing defensive work? Do they know where the players need to be when the ball is in a certain position?.

“I’d actually like to go to Carrington and watch a week of what they do in training. I’d love to see it. I don’t know whether they are playing five-a-side, a bit of volleyball and all that rubbish, head tennis. I don’t know what they are doing but I’d like to go.

“I’d like Ole to invite me in for a week and say: ‘Paul this is what we’re doing and this is how we do it’ because I’m not seeing any stuff on the weekend that says to me that we work at this, work at that.”
