MANCHESTER – British sports journalist Duncan Castles reveals why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has not been fired Manchester United. In fact, during his nearly two years of service to Old Trafford, Solskjaer has yet to give the Old Trafford public a trophy.
Investigate Solskjaer safely in the seat of coach of Man United because the Norwegian tactician is not very demanding, especially in the transfer market. That’s right, in the 2020 summer transfer market Solskjaer asked Man United’s management for a number of players.

Call it Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund), Jack Grealish (Aston Villa) to Dayot Upamecano (RB Leipzig). However, none of them were brought in by Man United transfer expert Ed Woodward.
Despite failing miserably in the transfer market, Solskjaer has never expressed his disappointment to the Glazer family as the club that owns Man United, or to the media. Plus, Solskjaer’s salary is not as big as coaches in other established teams.
Currently, Solskjaer’s salary stands at 7.5 million pounds, or approximately Rp.142.5 billion per year. The salary lost 50 percent of Jose Mourinho’s income when he was coach of Man United from 2016 to 2018.

At that time, Mourinho was paid Man United 15 million pounds, or the equivalent of Rp.284.8 billion per year. For this reason, Solskjaer is still sitting comfortably in the current Man United coach chair.
