Manchester Unitedmanager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under fire in England. In the lost Champions League-cracker against Paris Saint-Germain (1-3), the Norwegian did not intervene when Fred emphatically flirted with a red card. Donny van de Beek therefore stayed on the couch for a long time.
Fred gave up in the first half PSGmidfielder Leandro Paredes headbutted. For incomprehensible reasons, referee Daniele Orsato decided to give a yellow card after a VAR intervention. Moments later, the Brazilian midfielder escaped his second yellow card, after which things went wrong in the seventieth minute. “I told him to be smart at half time”, Solskjaer said after half time. “There was no reason to change him.”

The critical media in England think completely differently about this: Solskjaer’s decision not to take Fred off the field for his red card, can count on a lot of criticism. ‘Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made awful decision in PSG Champions League defeat‘, Cop The Express.
Solskjaer’s decision not to switch Fred at half time turned out to be fatal. Fred’s red card could not be delayed. It was a miracle that he escaped twice, but three times was a charm. Solskjaer should have intervened with the frustrated Brazilian, especially knowing that Van de Beek and Pogba were on the bench. So Solskjaer just had options for switching, so why didn’t they fill in? In the end he paid a heavy price for it. ‘

‘Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should have played for the referee and got rid of Fred’, says The Telegraph. Also tabloid The Sun thinks so. ‘Solskjaer’s luck is running out’, is the conclusion. ‘Van de Beek, Pogba and Matic were warm, but none of them was allowed by Solskjaer to fill in for Fred’, The Manchester Evening News. In The Independent: ‘Even with a 1-1 score and with Van de Beek and Pogba on the bench, Solskjaer kept his powder dry. This allowed a line through a possible United comeback. ‘
In the BT Sport studio, Michael Owen, former striker of Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United, among others, hit hard at Fred. “Only mistakes,” he points the finger of blame at Fred and Solskjaer. “Come on, you’re a grown man. Why are you putting your team in such danger? If I were Fred’s manager, he wouldn’t play anymore. It’s really sad.”
