Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been urged by Jamie Redknapp to be more like\u00a0Jose Mourinho and “get tough in public” when speaking about Manchester United players.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Red Devils kicked off their campaign with a brilliant 4-0 win over Chelsea, but have since drawn to Wolves and come unstuck against Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

Why does\u00a0Solskjaer need to “get tough”? Five things to know…\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Solskjaer was subject to criticism after the 1-1 draw with Wolves for allowing his players to change penalty takers.<\/li>\n
  • Man Utd have now missed two spot kicks in as many games with Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba the culprits.<\/li>\n
  • Solskjaer has defended the shared responsibility and described both players as “designated takers”.<\/li>\n
  • However, Gary Neville hit out at his ex-teammate for not taking control of the situation.<\/li>\n
  • Redknapp has now called on Solskjaer to let his players “know who is boss” when in front of the media.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In the previous two matches, both\u00a0Marcus Rashford and\u00a0Paul Pogba have missed penalties after on-field discussions, leading some pundits and ex-players to criticise\u00a0Solskjaer for not having an iron grip on in-match decisions.<\/p>\n

    And former England international,\u00a0Redknapp, has now chimed in on the debate, urging\u00a0Solskjaer to ditch the nice guy act and show a little more leadership.<\/p>\n

    In his column for the Daily Mail<\/a>, Redknapp wrote: “United now have to bounce back, and what I want to see from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is some leadership.<\/p>\n

    “I get the sense that is what the club have been lacking lately. I’d like to see Solskjaer get tough in public when he is discussing his players \u2014 not to the same extent as Jose Mourinho, but just enough to let them know who is boss.”<\/p>\n
