The pressure is piling on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after Manchester United had Harry Maguire sent off as they were hammered by struggling Watford.
Watford were awarded a penalty in the sixth minute, when Scott McTominay clumsily brought Josh King down in the box. Ismaïla Sarr’s initial spot-kick was saved by David de Gea, but Kiko Femenina followed up and tucked away the rebound.
However, a VAR review revealed that Femenina was in the box when the penalty was taken, and referee Jon Moss order it to be retaken. Sarr stepped up again, and De Gea saved again.

But their task was then made much harder in the 70th minute, when captain Harry Maguire was sent off for bringing down Tom Cleverley after he’d been caught in possession on the edge of his own box.
Cristiano Ronaldo then had the ball in the net, but he was flagged for offside. And then in stoppage time, João Pedro sealed the victory for Watford when he rattled in at the near post having been denied by De Gea moments earlier. It wasn’t over there either, as Dennis then got in on the act to make it 4-1 in the 96th minute.
