Manchester United have been doing it the hard way in the Champions League, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring 3 goals in injury time to keep United’s European campaign alive. In United’s last game, despite David De Gea’s brilliance (where he saved 2 penalty kicks), the red devils were still humiliated 4-1 by Claudio Ranieri’s Watford side, the match being extremely humiliating finally, spurred an end to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign as the United boss. After Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking Manchester United will be led by former midfielder Michael Carrick, who is set to be Manchester United’s interim manager until a permanent manager is found out.
