Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs his backroom staff 'on top of their game' to turn around slump at Manchester United, says Sam Allardyce - who also jokes about Norwegian's GREY HAIR as a sign of current struggles

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs his backroom staff to step up to the plate too in order to turn around Manchester United's current demise in form, insists Sam Allardyce.

United are currently sixth in the Premier League and recently lost 5-0 at home to Liverpool and 2-0 to Man City, with pressure increasing on the Red Devils boss.

Solskjaer is assisted by former players Mike Phelan and Michael Carrick, as well as Northern Irish coach Kieran McKenna, and ex-Bolton and West Ham manager Allardyce emphasised the importance of having a good team around you.
