Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær has recently been exposed to heavy pressure after United’s achievements recently.
United are currently in 7th place in the Premier League table, and last week’s 0-5 loss against Liverpool the cup to overflow for more who demand that Solskjær be fired.
Journalist in the local newspaper Manchester Evening News, Samuel Luckhurst, is one of those who follow United most closely. He thinks Solskjær must go after this match.
– Sunshine must go, but he can not be the only one. His coaching staff does not have enough quality either, and why is Ed Woodward working out his notice period? Luckhurst asks Twitter.
Martin Samuel i Daily Mail believes that the Norwegian’s time at United should be history in the red part of Manchester.
“Sunshine is empty of ideas,” writes Samuel.
– He decides Solskjær’s fate
Gives his support
Celebrity doctor Wasim Zahid has noticed the strong reactions that have come after the last week’s loss.
In a video on his Youtube channel, he gives his support to Solskjær, and tries to explain how such pressure from all sides can affect people’s lives.
– As a manager, you must have a reasonably tough psyche so as not to be affected by this, says Zahid.
Here the professional player comes out of the closet
– Very demanding
Zahid tells Dagbladet that he would first and foremost make the video because he has a Youtube channel with a focus on physical and mental health.
– I sat and thought that when you have a job that he and the whole world will sit and judge your efforts. There are newspaper headlines and social media. I wonder how I would handle it. That would not be a good thing. It must have a psychological effect and strain, says Zahid to Dagbladet.
He says that he started applying for literature and research in the field, and says that the research shows that coaches and leaders in top sports live under high pressure.
He believes there are expectations that they will emerge as strong leaders.
– There is not much room to show that you are vulnerable. It is very demanding, which certainly erodes the mental health.
