Furious Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is planning sweeping changes during Manchester United’s run of four matches in eight days, saying the knock-on effects in the top-four race is “everyone else’s problem”.
Last Sunday’s Premier League clash with rivals Liverpool was called off after fans got into Old Trafford and onto the pitch during an anti-Glazer protest.
Eyebrows were raised at the postponed fixture being moved to next Thursday, especially with their home match against third-placed Leicester brought forward to Tuesday after playing at Aston Villa on Sunday.
United’s three top-flight fixtures in five days comes after Thursday’s intense Europa League semi-final second leg at Roma, where they lost 3-2 but triumphed 8-5 on aggregate to reach the final against Villarreal.
Talk is abuzz about another fan protest against the owners at the rearranged Liverpool match, while the Manchester United Supporters’ Trust is waiting for a response to their letter to co-chairman Joel Glazer.
“The communication between the club and the fans is ongoing,” Solskjaer added.
“Hopefully we can get an end to all the speculation and definitely the violence. That’s not something we want to see.
“We want to focus on football. My job is focusing on football and we have three games to win in five days.”
