OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER has been slaughtered by Manchester United fans for “writing off” the season, after he admitted he's already looking ahead to next term.
Following a shock 2-0 defeat to Watford, the Old Trafford boss said: “We're halfway through this season and we knew this season was going to be a season of some ups and downs.
“This season will be used to find a team and a squad for next season, but hopefully we can speed this process up by getting more results.
“I expect us to be more consistent, but at the moment we're a little bit further behind than what I was hoping for.”
But fans didn't take kindly to the attitude, with one tweeting: “Sorry. But if Moyes, LVG or Jose said this they'd be out. Since when does United write off seasons?”
Another wrote: “So Solskjaer has just publicly written off this season and said it's about finding a team for next season.”
A third said: “Solskjaer really said that this season this will used for next season. Effectively written the season off already. Smh. I’m done!!!”
