Published on October 6, 2019, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has faced intense criticism from fans after the team's disappointing draw against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League.

The Red Devils failed to register a single shot on goal in the match, which ended in a barren draw.

As a result, Solskjaer has been subjected to vicious trolls on social media, forcing him to delete his Twitter account.

The account, @olegs26_ole, had gained over 120,000 followers, including Manchester United captain Ashley Young.

However, the bio still lists Solskjaer as the manager of Molde, a position he held before joining Manchester United.

Despite the backlash, Solskjaer will be looking to get his side back to winning ways when they face Newcastle United in a Premier League clash on Sunday, October 6.
