Manchester United player Scott Mc Tominay has extended his support and backing to their manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who is facing all kinds of criticism from the media, fans and some former players. Mc Tominay, on the contrast, has stated that it is very “important they stick by” him this season.

The midfielder interacted with Mirror recently and it was in this interaction where he stated all of this.

“It takes time for a new manager coming in,” Mc Tominay was quoted as saying by Mirror.

“It’s not all of a sudden just going to click straight into place.

“Once Sir Alex [Ferguson] left Manchester United, it was going to take time for the club to find the right manager, and I do believe that we have the right manager now in Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer].

“You see different eras in football teams – everybody goes through transitional stages and we’re going through one right now,” he added.

“In this day and age, clubs are just willing to sack a manager, without really thinking about the consequences for how that team is going to go forward in the next five or six years.”

“Ole definitely has a plan for the short-term and long-term, and when you’ve got a guy like that, it’s important you stick by him.”

“I’m not worried at all. It’s going to take time for this club to get back to where it was, but we’ve certainly got a manager who’s willing to do everything to do that,” the 22-year-old midfield player concluded.

Manchester United are currently at the eleventh place in the points tally of the Premier League as they have accumulated eight points from six matches. The Red Devils will be up against Arsenal at the Old Trafford on Monday.
