I’ve been at the bottom before and it’s not nice. But if you get time to do what you set out to do, it will be fine

OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER has urged the Glazers to hold their nerve and not sack him – because he’ll get it right at Manchester United.

The Norwegian boss heads to Newcastle today with his back against the wall as he battles to turn Manchester United around.

But he believes his days as a player under Sir Alex Ferguson and tough times at Molde and Cardiff in a short management career have prepared him to deal with the storm that’s brewing at Old Trafford.

Only the club’s American owners and vice-chairman Ed Woodward know where their tipping point lies in calling a halt to their experiment with Solskjaer.

But despite the club’s worst start to a League season for 30 years, United’s 1999 Treble hero insists he’s not panicking – and is hoping the Glazers don’t either.

“Do you know my career? It’s been loads of ups but some downs as well, both as a player and as a coach,” he said.

Crisis

“At Molde and Cardiff I had tough times. I’ve been at that bottom end in the table. It’s not nice, even if it’s only early October.

“It wasn’t a nice feeling when I was at Cardiff. It wasn’t a nice feeling at Molde when we got one point in the first six games but you know things will turn around. So for me, I don’t worry if it’s United, Molde or Cardiff. I do the same job I believe in.

“If you get time to do what you are setting out to do, it’ll be fine.

“This is a period now with some fine lines going against us, but we’ll get there.”

Solskjaer will face the biggest crisis in his time as United manager if his stars lose at struggling Newcastle today.

But he claims it’s not a case of having blind faith that it will come good.

“Sometimes you don’t get the result you deserve,” he said.

“Only once this season have we deserved nothing from a game.

“It’s been fine margins here and there. Like against Arsenal, when you don’t get a penalty for a clear hand-ball.

“And in Holland the penalty denied to Marcus Rashford – when that happens you know there’s something working against you. But it’ll turn.

“It’s just turned October. I’ve been part of teams that haven’t started the season as well as we hoped for.

“I know that we haven’t started as well as we hoped for. But we have more points in the games we have played this season compared to the equivalent fixtures against those same clubs last year.

Pressure

“We have two more points than in those same games last season. So it’s not all that bad. Sometimes you look behind the results as well.”

Solskjaer’s days under Ferguson conditioned him to dealing with pressure.

But as the spotlight burns on his team, he has warned young stars like Daniel
