Solskjaer will soon find himself in the invidious position of being that HR manager who tells half the office to clear their desks by the end of the day, says NeilHumphreys WOLMUN ManchesterUnited

But Pogba and de Dea were dreadful at Wolves. One went AWOL and the other took leave of his senses for both goals. Without them, the Red Devils are maddeningly mediocre, proving that Solskjaer can't just tweak. He's got to tear up the playing roster and start again.

With those two distracted, United's limitations are exposed. Solskjaer's defensive options are less appealing than a vegetarian's at a steakhouse. Both Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof also reminded their manager of how far United's defensive stocks have fallen.Solskjaer has been an unwitting victim of his own short-term success, relying on the sudden injection of euphoria to artificially inflate expectations.

That's one for the older readers, who'll remember when United had two reliable centre-forwards, rather than one enthralling speedster and one baffling enigma.
