Manchester United chief Ed Woodward insists the club are ‘absolutely committed’ to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Norwegian manager has come under fire after United’s inconsistent start to the Premier League season.

United have taken just 10 points and suffered three defeats from their opening seven Premier League fixtures and sit in 14th in the table ahead of the resumption of action next weekend.

Reports have stated Mauricio Pochettino has been contacted about replacing Solskjaer, but Woodward has refuted those claims.

In a statement released alongside the club’s first-quarter financial results he said: “On the pitch, while there is still hard work ahead to achieve greater consistency, we remain absolutely committed to the positive path we are on under Ole as the team continues to develop.

“We miss playing in front of our fans and we are working hard together with our governing bodies and relevant authorities to ensure that fans can safely return as soon as possible.”

“Finally, I would like to stress our steadfast commitment to increasing equality, diversity and inclusion across our club and the game as a whole. To that end, we were pleased to be among the first clubs to sign up to the FA Football Leadership Diversity Code.”
