Solskjaer has BETTER win ratio than Klopp after same number of games – but 85% of fans think Man Utd should axe him
OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER has a BETTER win record at Manchester United than Jurgen Klopp did at Liverpool after the same number of games.
But 85 PER CENT of fans still think the Norwegian should be sacked.
Solskjaer is under severe pressure at Old Trafford having won just once in his last five games.
But his record stands up well against much-loved Anfield boss Klopp's at the same point in their Premier League managerial careers.
Solskjaer has taken charge of 162 United games and won 89 of them.
That is one more victory than Klopp had managed after his first 162 games - with the German drawing 44 and losing 30 in the same period.
Solskjaer has drawn just 36 and lost 37 of his.
The pair are set to face each other at Old Trafford on Sunday.
