Manchester United DON'T look the sum of their expensive parts with three defeats in four games adding early-season pressure that the players and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could do without

It is such a fine line between heaven and hell. That was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s choice of words.

He was talking about the stoppage-time penalty Bruno Fernandes had just stuck into the Stretford End, a week after David de Gea salvaged victory for Manchester United in similar circumstances at West Ham.

But the United boss could just as easily have been referring to himself. The margins can be tight in football management and Solskjaer is treading a fine line, even before the first autumn leaves have hit the ground.
