The upset and angry United fans seem to have touched the boss.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has seemingly deleted his Twitter account after sending one last message to a club faithful.
In his first full season as the permanent manager, Manchester United have struggled to get off the blocks and need a massive turn in fortunes to get things back on track. With only two victories in seven Premier League matches, they are currently 11th in the Premier League table and their Europa League form has been suspect as well.
The Red Devils haven’t won on the road since beating Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on March 6. That is a run of 10 games. It all leaves Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s position looking increasingly precarious.
Following the club’s 0-0 draw against AZ Alkmaar, a non-verified Twitter account which went by the United manager’s name and was followed by multiple players from the club including captain Ashley Young, sent a message to a Manchester United fan before getting deleted.
Unfortunately, social media has made most players, and a handful of managers, more accessible to supporters and that’s often abused.
Mirror reports that the account was deleted after the fan abuse following the Alkmaar goalless draw in the Europa League. While the account wasn’t verified with a blue tick, it’s said to have been followed by the likes of Ashley Young and several other former United players, which does suggest it was the man himself.
Solskjaer clearly didn’t use it regularly anyway, but it is still a sad state of affairs if he’s had to ditch the account altogether due to the abuse he receives.
