Fans of Manchester United are calling for the immediate sack of headcoach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer amid the side's poor run of form. The Red Devils were held to a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday, extending their winless run to three in three matches.
In the afternoon's encounter, the hosts started off on the backfoot after they conceded a Jack Grealish opener inside the first 11 minutes. However, an own-goal by Tom Heaton restored parity for the side on the verge of half-time. Victor Lindelof looked to have completed the comeback for Manchester United by scoring his second-ever goal for the team in the 64th minute. Barely 120 seconds later, Tyron Mings beat an offside tap to slam home the equalizer for Aston Villa from close range.
In essence, the Red Devils failed to recapture their poor form in the Premier League this season. Currently ranked ninth with 18 points, Solskjaer's side has managed just 4 wins from 14 outings in the ongoing campaign. With the frustration of fans increasingly growing amid the fading prospect of the club earning a top four spot, many have called for the Norwegian manager to be shown the exit door and are open to the idea of former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino taking over.
Manchester United sacked José Mourinho last December having picked up 26 points from 17 games. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs to win the next three (Spurs, City & Everton) to better that total after the club spent big in the summer. Quite the feat to convince anyone this is progress.

Time for Ole to give up his post?
We played 14 games and won 4. Ole is clueless how will you sub ur main striker when you need goal. Our midfield is zero. We concede anyhow with our defense options. We play without a football pattern. Poch in...#OleOut pic.twitter.com/3WYct4k1DD
