Manchester United players expect Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to be relieved of his managerial duties, according to a report.

Manchester United players are reportedly expecting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to be relieved of his managerial duties in the near future.

The Norwegian managed to survive in his role over the international break and promised that the Red Devils would show a strong "reaction" in the clash with Watford on Saturday afternoon.

However, Man United were on the end of a 4-1 loss to the Hornets, and the club are believed to be holding an emergency board meeting to discuss his dismissal.

Zinedine Zidane is allegedly being lined up to replace the treble-winning striker at the helm, and according to the Manchester Evening News, the Man United players are expecting a change of manager to take place.

The Red Devils board had been keen to keep faith with Solskjaer, but a run of five defeats from the team's last seven Premier League matches is expected to force the club into action.

If the Norwegian is sacked this weekend then an interim manager is expected to lead the team into Tuesday's key Champions League clash with Villarreal.
