Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has held ‘crisis talks’ with six senior players ahead of this weekend’s Premier League clash with Watford.
United go into the game at Vicarage Road with one win from their last six league fixtures, including embarrassing home defeats to Liverpool and Manchester City.
Solskjaer is under huge pressure to get a win against a Watford side that sits just two points above the relegation zone and has the fourth-worst defensive record in the Premier League so far.
It has been rumoured in recent weeks that key players have grown frustrated this season. Earlier this month, Bruno Fernandes was said to be among those concerned by the lack of clear game plans by Solskjaer and his staff.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo, although not expecting to find the exact same club he left in 2009, is said to be ‘shocked’ by how far standards have fallen.
The Daily Mail writes that Solskjaer spoke with Fernandes, Ronaldo, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof and Nemanja Matic at a 10am meeting at the club’s Carrington training ground on Thursday morning.
The main point of discussion was how they would turn things around, as well as a tactical plan following a recent shift to a back three system.
With the majority of the United squad called up by their respective countries for World Cup qualifiers, Solskjaer used the first few days of this month’s international break to get away from it all by taking a short holiday with his family back in his native Norway.
Immediately after Watford, United face Villarreal in the Champions League, where anything other than a win would leave their progression to the knockout stages in doubt. Then come tough back-to-back Premier League fixtures against Chelsea and Arsenal.

Arsenal have reportedly been given a very surprising but very welcome boost.
It had been widely reported that Arsenal would be without Kieran Tierney for their trip to Manchester City tomorrow.
Scotland’s Stuart Armstrong tested positive for the virus that has swept the globe in 2020 and his international team-mate Tierney was deemed to have been a close contact of the Southampton midfielder.
Consequently, the Gunners left-back had been instructed to self-isolate for a period of two weeks.

But The Scottish Sun has today reported that Arsenal will have Tierney available for the visit to Eastlands after club doctor Gary O’Driscoll held ‘productive talks’ with Scottish government and the Scottish Football Association, after insisting that the 22-year-old had adequately socially distanced himself from Armstrong.

Jose Mourinho’s men are flying high at the top of the league going into the weekend with six wins and just one loss from 10 games, while their local rivals are struggling down in 14th place.
Tottenham vs Arsenal Latest Odds
Unbeaten in their last four North London derbies, the hosts are 19/20 (1.95) favourites with bet365 to maintain bragging rights with a victory against their neighbours.
The Gunners have claimed just four points from the last available 18 but can be backed at 14/5 (3.80) to kick start their campaign by coming out on top on enemy territory.
Sergio Reguilon, Toby Alderweireld and Harry Kane all passed late fitness tests for Spurs, however Erik Lamela is out.
David Luiz does not feature despite sitting out Thursday’s Europa League clash with Rapid Vienna following his head injury against Wolves, however Thomas Partey has recovered from injury. Nicolas Pepe is suspended.
Tottenham: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Lo Celso; Bergwijn, Son, Kane
Arsenal: Leno; Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney; Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Willian, Lacazette; Aubameyang
Tottenham vs Arsenal Preview
It is not only the eight-point advantage that makes Spurs such clear favourites going into this clash, but also recent performances in big matches.
Having romped to a memorable 6-1 victory at Old Trafford early in the season, they have put in controlled performances to see off Manchester City 2-0 and earn a valuable 0-0 draw away at Chelsea in the last two fixtures.
With just two goals to their name in the last six league fixtures, it is hard to see Mikel Arteta’s out-of-form team having the guile or the confidence to put an end to their neighbours’ strong run with a first derby away win since 2014.
Tottenham vs Arsenal Tips and Predictions
Instead, those 19/20 (1.95) seem far too good to pass up on a Tottenham team that has now lost just once in 16 league matches proving too strong for an Arsenal side with five defeats to their name in the last eight.

Arsenal saving money from not playing Ozil
Mikel Arteta’s decision to freeze out Mesut Ozil could actually be saving Arsenal a significant amount of money. The German hasn’t kicked a ball for Arsenal since March and has been left out of their Europa League squad this season but still pockets an eye-watering wage of £350,000-a-week.
