Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has dismissed suggestions he is under fire after his side slumped to a 2-0 defeat against Manchester City.

Solskjaer came into the game under pressure and the situation intensified after the result.

However, the tactician insisted that he does not believe the sack is coming.

When asked by BBC Sport if he thinks he is on borrowed time, he said: “No I don’t.”

“I have good communication with the club all the time which is up front and honest.
