OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER insisted he is ready to swing the axe on Manchester United players he feels do not have the required desire to play for the club.
A humiliating 4-0 loss to Everton left the new Manchester United boss fuming and questioning whether some of his squad care enough.
And he promised that they will not win a power struggle with him like they did with former boss Jose Mourinho.
Two days after admitting that some players needed a reality check, Solskjaer was asked whether those players care enough.
After pausing for six seconds, he said: “I don’t know. You have got to ask them. I have asked them. Of course if you want to play at this club, it has to be more.“I want my team to be the hardest working team in the league, that is what we were under Sir Alex [Ferguson].
“You can’t change your whole squad. One step at a time. I am going to be successful here and there are players who won’t be part of that.”
United have now conceded 48 Premier League goals, comfortable their highest ever tally in a single season and their most in a top flight campaign since 1978-79 when they leaked 63.
But Solskjaer was fuming after a performance in which they were outrun by Everton and offered nothing going forward until a solitary shot on target five minutes from time
